Keishou-waso
"Keisho Waso Narai" is an experiential program where participants learn about, experience, and pass down Japan’s traditional clothing, such as kimonos and yukata.
The program goes beyond simply teaching how to wear traditional attire—it also delves into wa no kokoro, the “spirit of harmony” that underlies Japanese culture.
Participants explore the emotions woven into each stitch, as well as the history, meaning, seasonal customs, gestures, manners, and language that bring these garments to life.

Rather than simply listening, "Kensho Waso Narai" offers a participatory, hands-on learning experience.
It engages all five senses—sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch—allowing participants to deeply feel and internalize each moment.
Ultimately, it seeks to awaken not only these senses but also the intuitive “sixth sense” of the heart.
