Traditional Bamboo Basket Weaving Experience
Overall Rating
4.75Nice 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.
