- Overview
-
- We offer a hands-on workshop where you can experience handmade washi, a traditional Japanese craft.
- Tosa Washi, with over 1,000 years of history, is one of Japan’s top three washi papers. Known for its strength and warmth, it’s easy to try and makes for a memorable Asakusa experience—perfect for fans of crafts or Japanese culture.
- After a short video on Tosa Washi’s history and process, you’ll wear traditional workwear (samue) and make washi postcards with help from a friendly instructor.
- In both the Plain Paper Plan and Colored Paper Plan, you’ll handcraft four plain postcards.
- The Colored Paper Plan includes an extra step: layering beautiful Rakusuishi—lace-like decorative washi—on top. You can choose your favorite four colors.
- The workshop is full of smiles and surprise at the beauty of the finished paper.
- Take home your handmade washi as a special souvenir.
