Updates

Hello! We hope your new year is going well.

Both of the Foundation Kasuri Courses in 2013 are full now, but please contact us if you would like to be on the waiting list. We will let you know if there is an opening. We are truly thankful for the number of people who have shown interest in studying at KTS and hope to be able to increase the maximum number of students in the future. Thank you so much.

Dates and details for workshops (1-4 days) are coming soon. Like last year, we plan to have Shifu 1, 2, 3, Day Trip to Miyama and Natural Dyeing.

We have been updating the FAQ page with information on courses and weather etc. Please take a look if you haven't been there for a while!

We wish you all a lovely holiday season and a Happy New Year!!
