    The course was a waste of time as you don’t do anything. The museum is tiny but interesting. I recommend the museum, as a short break from the bustling streets
    A very special experience
    Diane_B, Mar 2024
    Lovely, and the museum is extremely interesting. The materials you work with are quite high-quality, and the selection of projects is excellent. I am very happy with my scarf and I enjoyed shopping there as well.

    The staff were extremely helpful and excellent. We had a great time creating silk shibori scarves and now have a greater appreciation for the art of shibori.
    Great memorable experience
    Kay_F, Oct 2023
    It was a small class size so there was easy to follow instructions. The scarves turned out beautifully and the museum was very interesting with unbelievably beautiful shibori artwork. We were also able to purchase shibori treasures. A definite highlight of our Kyoto trip.
    Much more than a scarf, a magnificent ancient tradtional art.
    Margaret_T, Jul 2023
    Our family of 5 expected to be making shibori scarves as a take home, but Yokahama-san and the others at this amazing workshop, shop and museum gave us much more. We learned about the painstaking craftmanship that goes into every work, saw amazing large and small scale examples of it and could better understand the craft's importance in Japan's history. Great explanatory video and show-and-tell also. Thank you so much
    Easy crafting program
    Sandy_J, Mar 2023
    Very easy craft to make and take home. Nice museum and historical video to watch afterwards. Handmade crafts in gift shop.
    So fun!
    Jennifer_H, Oct 2019
    This is a great and quick class. I was the only person in our session and Nina guided me through making my Shibori scarf in an informative and fun way. I would take it again and would recommend it to anyone wanting to dip their toe in the Shibori-making waters. The museum is also so interesting! So many beautiful pieces to look at. It's really an amazing art! Thank you!
    Enjoyable scarf class
