Kimono Flower Art Workshop & Calligraphy

Service Description

Begin your experience with a short introduction by the staff, who will share the history and cultural significance of kimono, as well as the challenges facing kimono in modern Japan. See, touch, and learn about authentic vintage kimono while discovering how Mimirin gives these beautiful textiles a new life through upcycling. Next, choose your favorite authentic kimono fabric from the collection and carefully attach it to a canvas. Then, decorate your artwork with handcrafted tsumami zaiku flowers, selecting the colors and arrangement that best express your personal style. To make your artwork even more special, finish by writing your name, the date, or your favorite Japanese kanji on the back of the canvas using traditional Japanese calligraphy. Take home your finished Kimono Flower Art as a meaningful, one-of-a-kind souvenir from Kyoto—a beautiful piece of Japanese culture that you created yourself.
