The Experience

Create Your Own Stencil-Dyed Frame with Murakami Tea
This workshop offers a unique opportunity to use Murakami Tea, a specialty of Niigata Prefecture, to create a stunning stencil-dyed frame. Choose from several traditional patterns and apply color to pre-dyed fabric using a mordant. After washing and drying the fabric, you’ll frame it to complete your personalized creation. The result is a beautiful piece of art that combines the rich, subdued tones of Murakami Tea with the timeless appeal of traditional Japanese patterns.

Perfect for All Ages and Abilities
This activity is open to everyone, from young children to seniors. Children under 12 must be accompanied by a guardian, as the workshop involves the use of chemicals and water tanks. Please ensure children are supervised at all times. The venue is wheelchair accessible, and we are happy to accommodate any special needs—please contact us in advance to discuss your requirements.

Take It Home the Same Day
The entire process takes about an hour, and you can take your completed frame home on the same day. If you prefer, we can also arrange shipping for an additional fee.

Anyone can enjoy it! From small children to the elderly and people with disabilities. Enjoy a hands-on experience that combines the beauty of Japanese tradition with the creativity of making something uniquely yours!
