Ueda Tsumugi Weaving Experience Workshop

Ueda Tsumugi is a traditional Shinshu textile that has continued since the Edo period, characterized by durability and simple, rustic beauty. At the tsumugi workshops in Ueda City, you can experience weaving coasters and table runners using actual hand looms. Craftspeople provide careful guidance from thread selection to the rhythm of weaving. The process of warp and weft threads intersecting to create fabric is also a meditative time that calms the mind. Your finished pieces can be taken home on the same day.
