At Okayama Kougei, you can take a tour of our workshop, led by skilled artisans, and experience the art of hand-painted yuzen. You can choose from four different courses based on your preference. There are also many nearby tourist attractions, such as Fushimi Inari Shrine and Fushimi's sake breweries, making it an ideal stop during your Kyoto sightseeing. We hope you'll visit us!
Workshop tour
After explaining the kimono production process using videos and panels, you will be given a tour of the workshop. While there is no hands-on experience, we have prepared a hand-painted yuzen dyed frame as a souvenir for you.
Coloring a cloth in a frame
We prepare a piece of white fabric with a pattern drawn on it with thread glue.
Participants can choose their favorite from about 10 patterns, and color it with a brush.
The cloth has the size of a postcard and can be taken home in a frame.
