More Details

We have continuously educated with focus on the individual student learning weaving, so that each person can have the opportunity to use the techniques and gain the ability to express themselves through weaving. Esteemed adult education for Japanese and foreigners. At KTS there are substantial facilities for dyeing and weaving, including a variety of looms. It is possible to learn a good balance of traditional techniques and culture, alongside modern textile practices. Very experienced teachers instruct students to enable them to continue independently after graduation. Kawashima Textile School is a wonderful facility surrounded by the beautiful nature of Rakuhoku, Kyoto. A dormitory annex provides on-site accommodation where visiting students can stay. The area around the school is a tranquil area of ​​Kyoto City where abundant nature remains. There are plenty of opportunities to explore and appreciate the history, traditions, and culture of this ancient capital. The International Beginners Course, Foundation Kasuri Course, and Applied Kasuri Course are all held in English. Most of the international students who have studied at KTS could not speak much Japanese, but please remember that having some Japanese skills will help you communicate with other students and teachers, and further your studies. *However, the "regular" courses at KTS are for fluent Japanese speakers only. Please note that you will not have any support in English for those programs. Location: 418 Shizuichiichiharacho, Sakyo Ward, Kyoto, 601-1123
