Kimono Dressing

Have you always wanted to try on a kimono? This is your chance. Konnichiwa Club has Kimonos in all sizes and volunteers are ready to dress you. Trying on kimono is not as easy as putting on western clothes. But the photo you will keep as a souvenir is definitely worth it.

Furoshiki wrapping workshop

Try to learn how to wrap gifts with Furoshiki, a traditional Japanese way of wrapping goods with fabric. Furoshiki comes in all kinds of sizes and designs. It's a very eco-friendly way to wrap Christmas gifts. Later, you can use the furoshiki as a scarf, tablecloth, fabric cover, or to wrap gifts for others.
