What to expect

Create your own Japanese stencil-dyed keepsake in a traditional home over 100 years old. Discover katazome, a traditional Japanese dyeing technique that uses intricately cut paper stencils to create patterns on fabric. Whether you love arts and crafts or are trying something new, this relaxing workshop is a great way to spend time with family or friends. No drawing skills are needed.

Choose a tote bag, split-toe tabi socks, or a Japanese hand towel, then personalize it with stencils and colors under a local instructor’s guidance. Enjoy brown rice coffee while your piece is ironed, then explore the house.

The workshop takes place at Yaoyado, a 10-minute walk from Tobu-Dobutsu-Koen Station, about 60 minutes by direct train from Asakusa, Tokyo. Your host will meet you at the station’s ticket gates.
