On October 8th (Sun.), SIED hosted “Kyo-Yuzen Workshop” as one of the welcoming events for new international students.
29 students including 19 international students visited Marumasu-Nishimuraya, a local institution here in Kyoto for over 100 years, to try Kyo-Yuzen. They tried a traditional dyeing technique called “Surikomi-Yuzen” in which one dabs the ink with the brush over the exposed stencil area, allowing the fabric to soak it in. Each student came up with his/her own design to decorate a travel coffee mug.
Through this experience, the students were able to further cultivate their understanding of Japanese culture. Furthermore, the shared experience allowed the students to interact with one another regardless of their nationalities.
The event was successful in that many of the students formed new friendships and hung around the city afterwards.
