Traditional Crafts at Risk of Extinction Find a New Lease on Life With Travelers

"Kanazawa offers hands-on workshops with master artisans, including visits to ceramic and gold leaf makers, embroiderers, and silk dyers. The program demonstrates that traditional crafts can still be a viable way to earn a living, as shown by a kaga yuzen artist selling a luxury kimono to a visitor."

This is a beautiful small museum displaying kimono painted in the traditional Yusen style. All pieces are gorgeous, and there are clear explanations of the whole dyeing process. The basement includes a shopping area and the workshop area. You can choose two different options for dyeing a piece, using stencils or free hand. I tried the free hand option, and it was a challenge to get the colors to stay inside the marks! I had the help of a wonderelady who spoke to me in Japanese, while I asked her questions in English... It worked❤️.

A unique experience with painting on fabric. You appreciate how much the paint will find a thread and run when you do this activity.

Wonderful experience. We learned that Kaga-yuzen is a traditional silk dyeing technique & is characterized by five basic colours - indigo, crimson, dark green, ochre & purple. Took part in the stencil dyeing workshop & brought home our handmade tote bag souvenir 😁

The museum was fun and informative. The real fun was painting our own handkerchiefs. We recieved a quick lesson on how to paint and blend colors and then we're set loose on our own canvases. My girlfriend and I had a lot of fun and enjoyed our time here.

The kimonos are amazing. And the fabric painting workshop we did was fun and educational. This was a really nice way to spend a couple of hours on a rainy afternoon.

Small. I was expecting more information about kimono. But there is just about technic what used Kaga-yuzen. I can recomend to visit only if its old or heavy rain day

This is perfect if you need a little fun break! Head to the basement for the creative workshop. Even without Japanese you'll be fine, since they can show what to do. You make little design on handkerchiefs, tote bags, etc. Had so much fun and it turned out really cute. So far my favourite souvenir.

Lovely small museum with some interesting and beautiful kimonos. We had a private guide from Tripadvisor who took us there and explained the art, otherwise it might be a little difficult. There is a lovely art workshop area downstairs where one can participate. There are also lovely items for sale.
