Katsuyama City’s Traditional Silk Fabrics, as Your Own One-of-a-Kind Item

After learning about this part of local history at the museum, visitors can even try making their own silk luncheon mats using a hand loom.
The silk threads for these are upcycled, coming from items that are no longer used, and workshop participants can choose their favorite kinds from a broad selection.

Workshop Price: ¥4,000 (incl. tax)
