Experience Premium English Learning with Kimonos
In a groundbreaking initiative, Shinhodo Corporation, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has collaborated with the Ethnic Costume Culture Promotion Association to launch a special English learning mission titled "Kimonos in Conversation." This limited-time opportunity aims to provide students with a unique learning experience by allowing them to converse with experts in kimono culture in English, fostering an appreciation for Japan's rich traditional heritage.
A Mission Rooted in Cultural Exchange
Shinhodo, driven by its mission of offering "rich experiences through education," operates the engaging love-themed English conversation service,
MOTERU. This collaboration introduces expert instructors from the Ethnic Costume Culture Promotion Association, recognized by the Cabinet Office, to guide learners through their journey.
Participants will dive into the intricacies of kimono culture, exploring themes such as the nuances of wear, color significance, and the global perception of this quintessentially Japanese attire. With the slogan "Now or Never If You Want to Speak,"
this initiative emphasizes the need to connect with cultures through language, thereby enhancing learners' motivation by providing an engaging conversational partner.
The Learning Experience
The mission is designed to be accessible and rewarding. Every session lasts ten minutes, where learners can immerse themselves in practical dialogues about various elements of kimono culture. Whether discussing the background of the attire or its relevance in contemporary society, students can practice their English skills in a fun and supportive environment.
The sessions are structured as follows:
- - Instructor: Certified instructors from the Ethnic Costume Culture Promotion Association, fluent in both English and Japanese.
- - Themes: Participants will discuss topics like the significance of kimonos, appropriate dress codes, cultural context, and how to present this knowledge to an international audience.
- - Format: Each session is ten minutes long, and there are no limits to how many times students can participate during the designated period.
This innovative approach empowers individuals to articulate the beauty of Japanese culture confidently, fostering a sense of pride in their heritage as they learn to communicate it meaningfully in English.

MOTERU's mission of connecting people through language content resonates deeply within the cultural fabric of Japan. By engaging in conversations about kimonos, learners not only improve their language skills but also strengthen their cultural identity in a global setting.
