エビ籠を作りました。写真では難しそうに見えたのですが、親切に丁寧に教えてくださって何とかできあがりました。まさか自分で作れるとは思ってなかったので感激です。竹って、いい素材だと感じました。ありがとうございました。

I 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.

Patient, easy-to-understand instruction

My 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.

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.

Peaceful personalized experience

We 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

Nice experience!

This 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
