Create your very own item during a lesson learning one of Japan’s traditional crafts. Choose and combine from a wide selection of mizuhiki paper cords in different materials and colors with various textured washi paper for a truly unique gift.
The lesson is a mix of demonstrations and hands-on experience, starting with a simple mizuhiki made from two cords. Origata, the art of wrapping valuable gifts in paper, is shaped with care using spatulas and bamboo sticks. As you feel the joy of creating with your own hands, you can improve and level up during the lesson in no time.
Staff will talk about the culture surrounding mizuhiki and origata. Fruitful discussions on their background and history will help you gain a deeper understanding of Japan.
Advanced courses for creating jewelry and goshugi-bukuro (a decorative envelope to hold congratulatory gifts) using mizuhiki are also available. These items will add an elegant touch to not only Japanese fashion such as yukata and kimono, but for daily outfits as well.
