GREETINGS
Since opening in 1973, Kawashima Textile School has maintained a policy of accepting students without having to take an entrance exam, or undergoing a previous experience assessment, and without a points per unit system of study. We have continuously educated with focus on the individual student learning weaving, so that each person can have the opportunity to use the techniques and gain the ability to express themself through weaving. Esteemed adult education for Japanese and foreigners.
Kawashima Textile School is managed by Kawashima Bunka Jigyodan, Ltd.
In this modern world, if one uses cutting edge scientific technology, anything is possible, but everyone admits that the goodness of handwork gives movement to the heart and mind.
At KTS there are substantial facilities for dyeing and weaving, including a variety of looms. It is possible to learn a good balance of traditional techniques and culture, alongside modern textile practices. Very experienced teachers instruct students to enable them to continue independently after graduation.
