Private Kimono Dressing Lesson
June 20, 2021 - June 22, 2021
Tsuyo Onodera, a master kimono maker, has been in the industry for more than sixty years. She has trained hundreds of students to become licensed kimono makers through five-year apprenticeships at her school in Sendai, Japan. Tsuyo and her daughter, Maki Aizawa have led multiple workshops teaching participants how to sew yukata, a kind of casual summer kimono, including at the Workshop Residence in San Francisco, located at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art. Tsuyo and Maki are passionate about keeping the art of wearing Kimono alive through the teaching of this art.
