Create a one-of-a-kind goshuincho cover using Suribitta, a Kyoto Yuzen stencil-dyeing technique practiced by a studio with more than a century of history. Choose from 14 stencil designs and learn how their motifs and colors carry meaning within Japanese decorative culture.
Apply dye to selected parts of the design under the artisan’s guidance. Genuine gold leaf and professional tailoring are included, and the studio will finish the dyed fabric as a goshuincho cover after your visit. The finished cover is shipped later, with shipping charged separately.
