What you'll do

[Tradistional Kusaki-zome Dyeing Experience in Amaminosato]
In this activity, you will create your own original yellow handkerchief using the dye from "Fukugi" trees, which grow near the coast of the southern islands. Fukugi is also known as the "Tree of Happiness." This experience also serves as an opportunity to learn about the traditional hand-binding dyeing method used before the invention of the Oshima Tsumugi weaving looms. The finished handkerchief can be taken home on the same day. We will provide the handkerchief. This experience is suitable for individuals aged 5 and above.
