- Create your own original high-quality silk placemat using pre-dyed silk threads
- The Takabata is a type of handloom. You sit on a bench attached to the loom and use foot pedals to alternately raise and lower two shafts (heddles) to weave
- The Takabata is pre-set with pre-dyed silk warp threads, and you can choose your favorite color of silk weft thread to weave your placemat
- Your one-of-a-kind luxury placemat will be complete! Our staff will provide careful guidance throughout the process
What to expect
Katsuyama’s textile industry got its start with woven silk. After learning about this part of local history at the museum, visitors can even try making their own silk luncheon mats using a hand loom. The silk threads for these are upcycled, coming from items that are no longer used, and workshop participants can choose their favorite kinds from a broad selection.
