You can try making your own ``one-of-a-kind flower hairpin''!
Even small pieces of cloth that would otherwise be thrown away are cherished and used with care.
I want to spread the spirit of tsumamizaiku, so I don't just teach techniques, but I focus on the experience of ``finishing a piece of work''.
The thrill of seeing a small piece of cloth that would otherwise have been thrown away become a wonderful accessory, and the joy of playing with colors will soothe your mind and forget the time.
Please take a look at how much you can bring out the personality of the cloth that changes by pinching it, and how it transforms into a chance encounter and a single flower petal.*The experience is for 2 or more people.
*Please make a reservation in advance.LINK KYOTOsustainablehistoryexperienceKyotogenuinetraditional cultureSDGs

Saga Arashiyama has been loved by aristocrats and cultural figures since ancient times.
This museum is a museum that conveys the history and charm of Hyakunin Isshu, which is said to have originated in this area, as well as the essence of Japanese painting.Climb the stone steps, pass through the Kanmokumon gate, and step into the rock garden where you can enjoy the beauty of the four seasons: weeping cherry blossoms in the spring, azaleas in the early summer, red leaves in the fall, and snow caps in the winter.
The view from the second floor is like the world of a Japanese painting, with Mt. Ogura, which is associated with Hyakunin Isshu, in the background, and Arashiyama and the Oi River, which have been famous scenic spots since ancient times, as borrowed scenery.
