Adapting the Kimono
Mōʻiliʻili Community Center
June 15 & June 29, 2025
Instructor: Ann Asakura
This class will serve as an introduction to the dyeing/weaving techniques of Japanese and Okinawan textiles and their traditional clothing formats. In 1979 this was the very first Temari class, then named “New Wave Kimono”
Taking apart kimono, chanchanko and hanten is a perfect way to respect these garments’ meticulous construction. In this class, you will create a Western garment from these 15-18” width pieces.

Temari is woven by community and threaded with culture.
Founded nearly 43 years ago, our mission is to continue sharing ideas, traditional approaches and new transformations of Asian and Pacific art forms—serving as a bridge across these rich, diverse cultures and generations past and future.
Through our workshops, festivals, and events, we support and inspire artists, teach traditional and contemporary techniques, and create a community of cultural connections.
