Product Info

The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.

  • You can experience dyeing a T-shirt using the Kyo-Yuzen dyeing method of stencil carving and stencil dyeing. Choose your preferred experience: "Stencil carving" and "stencil dyeing," which starts with carving a stencil, or just "stencil dyeing," which involves dyeing using a stencil carved by a craftsman. You can experience Kyoto's traditional crafts by observing up close the delicate techniques of traditional craftsmen certified as "Kyoto Master Craftsmen."
  • Experience Kyoto's traditional crafts, Kyo-Yuzen stencil carving and dyeing
  • Dye a T-shirt using Kyo-Yuzen stencils. Combine stencils with your favorite colors, patterns, and motifs to create an original T-shirt. Stencils will be provided, carefully carved by skilled craftsmen. If you wish, you can also try carving your own stencil (additional fees apply). This is your chance to experience the authentic traditional culture of Kyoto.
  • Enjoy fun instruction from Kyoto's master craftsmen!
  • Traditional craftsman Noriaki Wada entered the world of stencil carving upon graduating from junior high school, and is a Kyoto master craftsman who was awarded the Order of the Sacred Treasure, Gold Rays with Rosette in 2015. During the experience, you can closely observe the skilled techniques. Why not try authentic stencil carving and stencil dyeing with a friendly craftsman? You can use a stencil carved by Wada, or you can carve a stencil of your own design (in this case, it will take about a week to prepare for the experience). Feel free to experience Kyoto's traditional culture.
  • Combine with sightseeing in Kyoto
  • Wada Zen Kobo is a small workshop located in a quiet residential area in Nishikyo Ward, Kyoto City. It is a 45-minute bus ride from Kyoto Station and an 8-minute bus ride from Hankyu Katsura Station. We also provide shuttle service from Hankyu Katsura Station. Many Kyoto tourist spots are located in the surrounding area, including Arashiyama, Katsura Imperial Villa, Ryoanji Temple, Tenryu-ji Temple, and Nishi Honganji Temple. Why not experience the beautiful world of Kyo-Yuzen stencil dyeing as a memorable memory of your trip to Kyoto?

Purchase Notice

Please note the following when participating in this course:

  • ■ Stencil dyeing experience: Using stencils created by Wada himself, you will dye them with acrylic paint and a brush. You can take the dyed T-shirt home on the spot. ■ Stencil carving and stencil dyeing experience: Wada will carve the difficult parts of the carving beforehand, so even first-timers can rest assured. You can take home the stencil and the dyed T-shirt on the spot. ■ Required time: Please contact us if you are in a hurry. We will adjust the time to complete the experience within your desired time.

Other important points to note:

  • ■About designs For both the stencil carving and stencil dyeing experiences, we will use either your design or one we have designed. If you are using a design designed by yourself, we will prepare it after you fax it to us, so it will take about a week until the day of the experience. Even if you have a simple image, Wada will prepare it in a neatly arranged state. If you are preparing a design in the workshop, it would be helpful if you could indicate your preference, such as "cherry blossoms" or "Usagi."
