Produced by an intricate process of entwining together many fine threads, Kumihimo is a Japanese traditional art that has continued since ancient times. Here, however you can get a taste of this experience without having to be an expert. It'll be fascinating to see your own beautiful cord being produced as you cross the threads. There are 3 courses to match all schedules and budgets. Those not understanding Japanese should participate with a guide or interpreter.
