Nice experience!
Reviewed by: Annaïck, 2019/10/28This workshop was my first experience in weaving.
I made a Shikainamihana basket and it wasn’t difficult.
The host had a good level in English and was patient in showing and explaining all the steps.
It didn’t even take too long to make ! It took about an hour.
This workshop is fine for beginners and totally ok if you speak English!
I recommend going to the Take No Ko shop for the appointement

Peaceful personalized experience
Reviewed by: Davin, 2019/09/09We entered the weaving store, then the teacher led us back into the garage/workshop.
My wife and I had chosen different products to make. Mine was a bit more difficult (ebikago) while my wife's (yorozukago) was simpler and took 30 minutes less to complete. My wife was pleased with the product
I really loved the workshop, it was cool despite the summer heat and the teacher was nice and patient

Patient, easy-to-understand instruction
Reviewed by: American in Kyoto , 2019/06/30My sister, an American basket weaver with a great deal of experience in weaving other materials, and I, a long-term resident of Japan with no previous experience, took the course. We were the only two students that day and both had a great time. The young woman who instructed us was friendly and patient with us, taking us one step at a time through the process of making the rather complex but beautiful Shikainami basket. We both ended up with nice-looking baskets. The instructor cheerfully answered my sister's questions about preparing the bamboo and agreed to prepare 200 strips for my sister to take home with her a week later. All-in-all, a very satisfying experience well worth the price.

Basket collector
Reviewed by: Sheri, 2017/12/05I have been buying bamboo baskets on my visits to Japan. Making my own basket is my favorite souvenir for this trip to Kyoto. The instructions were easy to follow and the end product was exactly as shown in the picture! The only tricky part was finding the store.
