  • I did this trip a couple of years ago, it was great. Learnt so much, saw the beautiful red maples 🥰 And Dai is a wonderful host. Highly recommend this trip. I'm off next March to do another trip with Dai - Cherry Blossoms & some more learning, really looking forward to it.

Dai the Ninja

Your guide

Dai the Ninja

I was born in Japan and grew up watching my family run a patchwork shop for over 40 years. I started Patchwork Ninja to share Japanese craft traditions with Australian sewists who love textiles as much as I do, and to take people back to Japan to experience real, genuine and traditional Japanese crafts.

Every tour is personal. I lead every group myself. I translate, I guide, I shop alongside you, and I share the Japan I grew up in.
