What to expect
Discover Nagoya’s traditional craftsmanship with a hands-on Kuro Montsuki dyeing workshop, a technique perfected over 400 years for formal black kimono. Learn how artisans create the deep black fabric and imprint white family crests, symbols of heritage in Japan.
Guided by a craftsman, you’ll choose a kamon (family crest) and apply it to a black tenugui scarf, creating a one-of-a-kind souvenir. Versatile and meaningful, your tenugui can be used as an accessory, handkerchief, or wall hanging.
The workshop takes place at Japan Culture Village, where historic shrines and shops meet modern cafés and eateries — a lively district blending tradition and today.
