After a class on Kinomo history you will be taught how to dress, with amazing patience and attention to detail, the staff help you understand and perfect the intricate process. Knowing that you have learned the traditions and perfected the art yourself is truly rewarding, and the final outfit, with finishing touches from the teachers, is stunning. 2) Costume Photos For a once in a lifetime experience, the costume fitting allows you to transform into a princess, samurai or oiran—with a traditional outfit.

In addition to creating your own personal, nuanced Nara Black Ink (and keeping your hands clean), you can also take part in a Workshop Tour and a Lesson on Black Ink. Please experience the aroma, the softness, and the warmth in the moment that you grip raw black ink.
