Shuri Ryusen (Bingata & Coral Dyeing Experience) Experience / Workshop
Greater Shuri area
A Shuri workshop offering hands-on dyeing experiences using natural coral ("coral dyeing") and bingata, Okinawa's traditional stencil dyeing. Transferring your own pattern onto a handkerchief or T-shirt is popular with children too, making this a reliable option for a rainy day in Shuri. The ground floor is a shop selling dyed goods and other souvenirs.
