Why You Should Visit
A two-day exhibition and sale of handcrafts on the theme of "summer attire" — kimono, lingerie, pearl jewellery and mizuhiki cord work — held at Pearl House / Kitano Medium-tei, a 137-year-old Western-style house in Kobe's Kitano district. Nine makers, including Shibata Orimono and Takara Pearl, take part, with hands-on experiences such as Japanese dance, shibori tie-dye, mizuhiki and pearl processing. A café operates inside, so you can take a break in the retro mansion. On the first evening, kyogen actress Tokuro Miyake gives a talk show. A good fit for lovers of Japanese craft and kimono, and for a girls' trip.
