Please take your time to enjoy the procession, which looks like a picture scroll of the dynasty, with the Kenreimon Gate of the Kyoto Imperial Palace in the background.

"THE G-ZO EXPERIENCE" by Zane Johnson, an American instructor of Zen, calligraphy, and Japanese culture based in Kyoto and Osaka. Chazuna and Zane collaborated to provide an authentic Japanese cultural experience that delves deeply into the spirit of Zen Buddhism, which is also linked to the culture of tea ceremony. This special program allows you to immerse yourself in the essence of Japanese culture by drawing kanji and calming your mind, so that you can experience the spirit of Zen, just like tea, which will serve as an opportunity to reexamine yourself.

The fabric is dyed while being tied with thread and under pressure to prevent the dye from soaking into the pressured areas, and the pattern is created using the traditional rolling tie-dye technique. The way the pleats are gathered and the way the string is wrapped around it will affect how the white background appears, so it's all about skill in deciding which parts to dye. You can choose from a rich selection of 20 colors. You will end up with a one-of-a-kind, original piece of work that is just yours. You can take your work home with you.
