WABUNKA CENTER
Japanese Traditional Culture Center

We know that many Japanese are interested in their own traditional culture, however, they hesitate to take lessons with a teacher. As most of lessons class are managed by IEMOTO System (the head family of a school), it is said that this IEMOTO system is very complicated and unclear. We regret that many Japanese, especially young Japanese, could not come in touch with their traditional culture because of IEMOTO System.

We thus opened our WABUNKA Center. This center can provide more occasions to come in touch with Japanese traditional culture for the youth and foreigners. 

If you are interested in any our course, do not hesitate to join us, because

• People in Wabunka Center are very friendly and open (not managed by IEMOTO System).
• Wabunka Center’s course fee is very cheap.
• You do not have to purchase Kimono and any preparations. You can borrow everything you need without charge.
• You do not have to speak Japanese well. I will support you until you getting on well with your teacher and classmates. You have a good chance to learn Japanese language as well as Japanese culture.

At all events, you had better come and see, and try a free trial lesson at first. Please feel the spirit of Japan, representing the beauty of studied simplicity and harmony with nature that molded the basis of these traditional forms of Japanese culture. Moreover, the kind of formalities observed in Japanese Culture have influenced the development of the manners of the Japanese in a fundamental way.

You may come to Wabunka Center or, alternatively, we send teachers to your home.  You can take private lessons, or you may enjoy group lessons if you get your friends together.
