Make a Scarf with Yayoi Period Handloom Weaving

About this event

Experience traditional handloom weaving using methods from the Yayoi period, crafting a wool scarf on a 'koshibata' (backstrap loom) strapped directly to your body. Why not try using your own handmade scarf this winter? While last year's workshop was held over two days, this year you will complete the scarf in half a day. Staff members handle preparations in advance so participants can join with peace of mind. Because you weave while seated in a chair, there is some distance to the desk at the start, but as you weave, the finished length is wrapped around the rod tied to your body. Finished scarves come in various colors such as light blue and pink. Open to 5th grade elementary school students and older, with attendance alongside a guardian recommended as much as possible. Capacity is 5 participants on a first-come, first-served basis, and the fee is 800 yen. Registration begins by phone or at the reception desk on Friday, November 25, starting at 10:00 AM.
