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.

Inside Towaryokan, located near Nishi Honganji Temple, there is a tea room called ``Seikaan,'' named after the 16th head master of the Urasenke school. We have set up a gentle and fun tea party experience plan for a limited time, because we want everyone to have a gentle time experience in this quiet and tranquil space. The tea ceremony has an image of being difficult to enter, but even beginners are welcome! Please feel free to join us! We will carefully guide you through the process while listening to explanations about etiquette when entering the tea room, viewing the beds and flowers, etc. Please relax and take photos while seated. Although it is near Kyoto Station, which is busy, it is quiet and gentle...that's how time passes. Please feel free to join us for a cultural experience in Kyoto.
