Holiday	Every 2nd Saturday, Sundays & public holidays
Business hours	9:00～18:00
Workshop info	Rich glow of gold brocade At Orisho Hirai, silk threads are intertwined with gold threads and woven into splendid gold brocade priest robes. According to the Nishijin weaving tradition, the umebata loom is installed below ground level to create the perfect condition for weaving—humidity softens the silk threads, making them easier to deal with. Kyoto traditional technique called hikibaku consists of affixing gold leaves on a sheet of washi paper with lacquer, cutting it into extremely thin filaments (about 0.3 mm) and weaving the obtained gold threads into the silk fabric for the luxurious three-dimensional effect.

Magical Experience Translate

★★★★★

Our visit to the Atelier of Orishao Hirai was the most memorable experience, and was one of our most favourite...

Holiday	Irregular holidays
Business hours	10:00～17:00
Workshop info	Nishijin Tsuzure-ori: delicate painting-like brocade weaving Have you ever heard of Kyoto nail-scratching tapestry weaving technique? Artisan sharpens his fingernails into a saw-tooth shape and uses them like a comb to create a relief brocade pattern. This technique is very advanced and time consuming — even the most skillful and experienced craftsman spends the whole day to weave only a few centimeters of textile. Don’t miss the unique opportunity to learn from the master craftsman Kikuo Hirano about Tsuzure-ori weaving and get some insights into the art of color arrangement.
