Chinese Brush Painting – More Designs For Kimonos
The Japanese Kimono is synonymous with Japanese culture.
Most kimonos are made from the finest materials decorated with embroidery and print. These patterns may include koi, fish, cherry blossom or abstract shapes.

In this workshop, we will aim at producing a selection of smaller size hangings, giving you the opportunity to experiment with a few different designs. Our inspiration will be the autumn hedgerow and Japanese pattern.
