Kibiso Silk Weaving Experience
キビソ機織り体験 やさか村ワタブンアートファブリック
Experience completing a body towel for beautiful skin while learning from a craftsman at a highly skilled workshop that produces Nishijin textile belts.
The outermost rough threads of cocoons made by silkworms used to be thrown away because they were difficult to use, but to avoid wasting the cocoons, the “cecilin,” an ingredient for beautiful skin contained in these threads, was focused on and used to develop body towels.
In this experience, you can make your own original body towel by weaving it with your own hands. No special skills are required, and even beginners can feel at ease as the artisans carefully teach them.
Above all, the interaction with the artisans, who are full of hospitality, will be heartwarming and transcend language barriers.
