Kimono Workshop in Helsinki 2026

Join my kimono Workshop in Helsinki!!

After the very successful kimono workshop in Helsinki, I will be coming back April 2026. I can’t wait to see some of you again and also meet new kimono friends. Last time the workshop filled up very quickly, so I recommend to save your spot as soon as possible.

This workshop day will be split into 2 sessions. In the first session you will learn how to dress yourself in juban (襦袢, kimono undergarment) and how to put the kimono on top of the juban. No matter if you are a complete beginner or already have some experience in kimono dressing, this session will make sure that you can dress yourself correctly and comfortably. We will have a lot of time in this immersion course, so we will be focusing on important points when putting on a juban and kimono, so it fits your body perfectly.

The second session will teach you how to tie an obi (帯) in a ginza musubi (銀座結び). Ginza musubi is a fun, easy but elegant obi arrangement to learn. We will also deep dive in how to tie obiage (帯揚げ) and obijime (帯締め) perfectly.

Please prepare the following items to attend the workshop:

  • a sheet or picnic blanket to stand on during the workshop

Session 1

  • juban (襦袢): nagajuban (長襦袢) or hanjuban (半襦袢) with susoyoke (裾除け)
