Some No Komichi (染の小道) is an event that showcases the art of traditionally dyed fabric, which was one of Shinjuku's largest industries in the early 1900s. There are still several small factories in the area that keep this tradition alive.

During the event, Myoshoji River turns into a gallery with colorfully dyed fabric flowing in the wind. The shops in the surrounding area of Ochiai and Nakai also participate by hanging beautiful curtains called "noren," made from dyed fabric, in front of their doors and windows.

*Many people come to this event wearing kimonos. There's also a kimono rental shop here, if you want to wear one for a day as well.

*Some No Komichi is held in Nakai (Shinjuku-ward, Tokyo) every year in late February.
