Summer Kimono Sash Cord Workshop

Are you a person who loves yukata (Japanese summer kimono), but feels a little shy about wearing them well? Do you enjoy crafts and making beautiful and unique things by hand? This course provides you with an introduction to traditional Japanese braiding skills and an understanding of the culture of yukata-wearing (traditional and modern), right in Kanagawa! Your host will show you how to wear yukata (hire one at the course, or bring your own), and teach you techniques for creating your own beautiful sash cords. Using just your hands and tsukui cords, you will learn to create any number of lovely gifts or accessories — a freeing and creative experience that provides you with a unique life-skill that can be practiced anywhere, no special tools needed.
