KYOTO Traditional
Kyoto Traditional Textile Weaving Experience
Upon your stay in Kyoto, it is very likely that you will visit the Kiyomizu temple. There are many beautiful things to see there, and one of these might catch your attention: the Otowa waterfall with its water divided into three different streams. The Otowa waterfall is a good example of the importance of waterfall in the ancestral Japanese culture. The practice called Taki Gyo is maybe one of the most famous activities related to the waterfall. Its root can be found in Shintoism but it is also now performed as ascetic practice in Buddhism and Martial Arts. During this activity, you will have a chance to experience meditation inside the original Otowa water spot.
Kyoto-Style Irodori Sudare Bamboo Mat Making Experience
Try your hand at making sudare, traditional Japanese mats that are woven from bamboo and yarn. Visit one of the last sudare factories in Japan to learn the authentic craft from a professional, then make your own set of 2 as a unique take-home souvenir.
Your lesson takes place at Kawasaki Sudare, one of the few remaining sudare factories left in Japan. Traditionally used as screens or blinds to shield homes from the elements, sudare mats can be fashioned into a variety of sizes, and are even found in kitchens for rolling sushi. Watch a demonstration from an expert on how to braid coloured yarn, which is then used to weave together bamboo slats into the desired shape.
Private Japanese Small Katana Forging Experience
Forge your very own Japanese kogatana (small blade) with an artisan swordsmith. Learn about the traditional blade-forging process, which uses the same materials and techniques as a full-size katana. At the end of the experience, take the beautiful product of your creation home with you.
Meet your friendly and knowledgeable swordsmith at the forge, and begin your hands-on smithing lesson. Begin to work away at transforming raw metal into a delicate instrument of your design as the expert swordsmith guides the process with a steady hand.
