INKIMONOplus is a private kimono learning program for those who want to deepen their knowledge and appreciation of kimono.
Through small, personalized lessons and educational workshops, you can learn about kimono, styling, dressing, coordination and the cultural background behind what you wear — at your own pace and according to your interests.
EDUCATIONAL KIMONO WORKSHOP
Learn about kimono with a professionally trained kimono stylist!
Have you ever bought a kimono and wondered what exactly you bought? Perhaps you have a growing collection but are unsure which kimono is appropriate for which occasion, how to choose an obi, or what all those different patterns, fabrics and terms actually mean.
Finding reliable information about kimono in English can also be surprisingly difficult, so I created INKIMONO+! It is my educational workshop series, created to make kimono knowledge more accessible to anyone who wants to understand it better. The workshop is interactive rather than a traditional lecture. You are encouraged to ask questions, examine kimono and obi up close, and take part in practical dressing try-on.
DURATION: Approximately 120 minutes. The workshop is compact, but not simplified — the aim is to give you a solid foundation that you can continue building on.
FORMAT: In-person workshop
LANGUAGE: English, Japanese or Polish available on request.

KIMONO TRIPS
Kimono trips around Japan, organized occasionally by INKIMONO+
I occasionally organize small group journeys (8 participants) combining kimono, local culture, food, sightseeing, workshops and of course kimono shopping at local stores! I frequently collaborate with Ukiyoe House in Ito, Shizuoka prefecture. Another one of my destinations is Aizu Wakamatsu in Fukushima Prefecture.
