Kasuri Weaving Experience & Workshop Tour with English Guide

About this event

Why not try your hand at weaving this summer? With a workshop tour also planned, participating in the Kasuri Coaster Making Experience Tour allows you to create a "one-and-only weave in the world" and your very own "original coaster." This tour includes observing Fukugi and Chinaberry trees that serve as dye sources for yarn, touring the workshop, and hands-on weaving experience, making it a popular program among tourists from outside the prefecture. "Kasuri Road," stretching along quiet streets in Haebaru Town, is a spot where you can take a stroll while feeling tradition and warmth; traditional weaving workshops line the path, allowing you to experience the appeal of Okinawa's representative textiles, "Ryukyu Kasuri" and "Haebaru Hanaori." You can hear the sounds of artisans weaving at looms and, if timing permits, might observe work at the yarn-stretching area. Ryukyu Kasuri patterns are depicted in various spots along the promenade, making it enjoyable to take a walk while searching for your favorite designs. Learning about Ryukyu Kasuri and Haebaru Hanaori at the Ryukyu Kasuri Hall helps deepen your interest and understanding even further. Why not feel the traditions and human warmth of Haebaru on the Kasuri Road, where relaxing time flows?
