This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

Why don't you join us to make shimenawa ornaments of Japanese traditional culture?

The design features mizuhiki wrapped around the shimenawa and a crane attached.

High-quality artificial flowers are arranged around a shimenawa rope made of richly scented rush grass.

We will arrange Senryo (which means “good luck” and will make you rich), pine trees, bamboo grass, dahlias, and mums.

We hope you will be able to design your own shimenawa arrangement without sticking to the sample.

We will show you how to make it in the video.
As a souvenir of Japan, it will be a great experience for you to create an original work of art.

It is easy to make, just paste it on. Even children can make it.

Coffee is included.

We will have lessons at a cafe just a 2-minute walk from the JR Keihin Tohoku Line Tokyu Oimachi Line
