About the School 5

An eight-part series introducing the school in the present as we review the 47 years since its foundation.

What kind of courses are there?

1st year Professional Course students' final project (Kiyoka Ueyama)

Technical Studies Course (Momoko Komada)

The "Professional Course" is the basis of the school. Students deepen their skills each year by studying weaving and dyeing techniques and textile design, starting from the basics, with a goal of creating and working independently in the future. In the "Technical Studies Course," which is for experienced weavers, students decide on a theme and the duration, and create starting from researching weave structures and materials.

For people from outside Japan, we offer the "International Students Course" (held in spring and autumn) and "Workshops in English." For groups, we can organize workshops of different levels, from trial workshops to specialized workshops, according to your preferences.

In our "Workshops," students can acquire a particular technique in a short period of time (1-10 days). Students can learn techniques such as the basics of weaving, weave structures, tapestry weaving, spinning yarn, dyeing (natural and synthetic), and get inspiration from artists and researchers.
