What to expect
At Tsumugi no Yakata (House of Yuki Silk), get to know one of Japan’s oldest silk textile traditions, treasured for centuries as a luxurious fabric for kimono. Learn about its approximately 2,000-year history and discover the production techniques recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage.
You will try traditional hand-spinning and watch skilled artisans at work before settling down at a loom to weave your own coaster. With around 30–45 minutes of weaving, it is an easygoing introduction to Japanese crafts, even if you have never tried weaving before.
