Groups who can spend a lot of time in the museum can see the large-scale works created by Kyoto tie-dye craftsmen at the attached museum, and learn about the history and process of tie-dyeing.

Q&A time is also available upon request.

(The director and deputy director of this museum have been involved in tie-dyeing for many years and have also taught at Doshisha Women's University.)

In addition, the staff also produces tie-dyed works every day. Please feel free to ask questions to the iris technicians.

​

What is the pre-learning system (limited to school trips):

If you make a reservation for the experience, we will send you a DVD that introduces the squeezing technique for pre-learning to the school.

If you take a look at the 8-minute digest version included, you will be able to easily understand the techniques of Kyoto tie-dyeing craftsmen.

With this in mind, we hope that you will be able to ask many questions to the iris technicians on the day.
