Held in Nihonbashi, Tokyo: Experience traditional Japanese culture passed down from the Edo period: "Tsumami zaiku and dyeing"

This is a rare and authentic experience, even in Japan, where you dye small pieces of silk with dyes from a dye shop with over 100 years of history, and then pick them. However, the workshop is short (about 2 hours) so that anyone can participate.

This is an experience of "Tsumami-zaiku", a traditional Japanese craft that has been passed down since the Edo period. It is held in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, so it is easy to access. Under the guidance of a professional, you will fold and pinch a small piece of cloth that you have dyed yourself to create a beautiful flower-shaped brooch (kanzashi). This is a rare authentic experience even in Japan, where you dye a small piece of silk with dye from a dye shop with over 100 years of history, and then pinch it. During the waiting time, you can also try your hand at folding and dyeing Japanese paper.
