Please join us for the February Nakayoshi event: Kimekomi Japanese Doll Making Demonstration on Saturday, February 4, 2025 from 1:00-3:00pm.
Kimekomi dolls originated in Kyoto in the 18th century. It is a Japanese technique of tucking fabric, such as kimono fabric into grooves to create dolls, balls, and other decorations. The word “kimekomi” translates to “to tuck into a groove”.
The event will take place at the Monterey JACL Hall, 424 Adams Street. There is free parking in the lot to the left of the JACL Hall. Street parking is 2 hours.
There will be kimonos available for a donation.
The event is free but donations will be gratefully accepted. Drinks and snacks will be available for a small donation.
