Traditional culture experience program for foreign visitors
(Japanese flower arrangement, Tokyo Kumihimo, Kimono dressing) workshop

The workshops of Japanese flower arrangement, Tokyo Kumihimo (braided cords) and Kimono dressing will be held at the Hama-rikyu Gardens. This is a valuable opportunity to come in contact with traditional culture in a Japanese traditional garden well-known as a “metropolitan oasis.” Guidance is available in English and we will hand out the manual in Japanese, English, Chinese and Korean. You can join the program at the venue on that day, so feel free to come.

We carry out explanation about Japanese flower arrangement called “Kado” and you can experience it. After the instructor arranged flowers as sample, the participant arranges flowers each along the sample. After the workshop, you can take a picture and take flowers home with you.
