[Setagaya April] Dyeing and Weaving Workshop - Cherry Blossoms and Spring Grasses -
It seems like spring is coming to its height earlier and earlier every year. What will await us this April? In Uzuki, we will be offering cherry blossoms in full bloom in the first half of the month, and seasonal spring plants in the second half, so that you can enjoy dyeing that will fully capture the feeling of spring. We hope you will spend a relaxing day surrounded by seasonal plants.
