Studies

Q. When will you be announcing the schedule for next year's International Students Course?

A. We plan to announce them in autumn. Please check our website and SNS (instagram and facebook).

Q. I missed the deadline. Are there any seats left? A. Any courses that have reached the maximum number of students will have "full" next to the course name on the International Students Course Schedule page. A second application period will be considered if there are vacancies. Please check back for announcements.

Q. How do I apply? When do I pay? A. Please check our Application Procedure Pages (International Students Course or Workshops) for more information.

Q. Are there any classes held in English? A. The Beginners Course, Foundation Kasuri Course, and Applied Kasuri Course are held in English.
Most of the international students who have studied at KTS could not speak much Japanese, but please remember that having some Japanese skills will help you communicate with other students and teachers, and further your studies.

Q. Can I apply for regular courses in Japanese? A. The regular courses at KTS are for fluent Japanese speakers only. Please note that you will not have any support in English. Please see our Japanese website for further information.

Q. Do you have any shibori courses? A. Since our school specializes in weaving, we do not teach fabric dyeing (shibori), only yarn dyeing. However you may enjoy Kasuri which is done by binding yarn to create dyed and undyed sections.

Q. How much do the materials cost for each course? A. The materials fees are included in the Beginners Course and Foundation Kasuri Course. The materials fees are not included in the Applied Kasuri Course, and will vary depending on the student's design.

Living in Kyoto

Q. What is the weather like? A. Our school is located in the mountains, so it is a few degrees cooler than the city center (especially in winter).
