You can make traditional Japanese Washi paper from raw materials. Enjoy making a piece of washi paper and designing it using dried, pressed seasonal local flowers and leaves. After drying the paper, you can craft it into a set of postcards, or table-mat, or wraparound lampshade, or tapestry panel.
You can proceed with it under the guidance of the instructor, in a relaxing atmosphere. While the paper is dried, you will be able to watch a short video of the traditional paper-making method which has been continued for over one thousand years.
Handmade Japanese Washi paper will be the perfect souvenir or gift from Japan!

Incredible memorable experience with hand made paper (which you made) which includes special small art inlays. Worked great with our 9 year old. Very close to the covered market so easy to work around lunch times. You will bring away your hand made paper which will
Need to be carried if you don’t drop them off.

My teen daughter enjoyed this activity and found it fun and educational. Hiro and his staff were so attentive and knowledgeable. We left respecting all the workmanship and art that goes into Washi paper. Thanks, Hiro!!

Had a wonderful time doing this activity with my tweenager. The couple who run the shop are so lovely and genuinely interested in teaching you about the paper-making process. It was just us and another visitor taking the class, and it was nice that it was a small group. The small shop also sells paper goods and other things but there is absolutely no pressure for you to buy anything, they don’t even mention it.

Had an amazing time learning the ancient art of traditional paper making in Japan. It was so fun to have this hands on experience. It was simple and quick, easy to understand. Even got to watch a 10 minute educational video about the process which was super interesting and also inspiring. The hosts were very friendly and were able to explain the process in English very well. Overall loved the experience and would definitely do it again.

We made the beautiful paper & decorated it with dried flowers.
Then whilst the paper was drying we watched a video of the ancient process of the Washi paper making from the stripping of the tree branches to the final product, which was so informative & very interesting.
It was a lot of fun & I would highly recommend it.
