Lonely Planet review for Ōhara Kōbō
In Ōhara, Ōhara Kōbō offers a chance to dye fabrics using kusaki-zome, vivid plant and vegetable dyes. The time and cost depend on the item: choose from a handkerchief (¥500), scarf (¥3000) or plain woollen yarn (enough to knit one sweater; ¥8000); if you bring your own wool to dye, the cost for the latter is ¥5000. The process takes from two to four hours; advance reservations in Japanese are required.
