Spot Muji-Zome Guide

Tokyo Muji-Zome（無地染め）

JAPAN TOUR GUIDE offers services where knowledgeable interpreter-guides accompany you to experience Japan’s traditional arts and culture. Unlike the simple experiences listed on OTA websites, our tours take you to masters who are officially recognized by the government for their craft. These artisans may have performed internationally or showcased their skills and works in overseas museums. With the guidance of interpreter-guides, you can engage with the historically preserved techniques and culture passed down through generations.

In the dyeing workshop led by Mr. Kondo, a traditional craftsman officially certified by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, participants can experience hand-dyeing techniques that produce beautiful gradients and rich, deep colors unique to handcrafted works.
