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.

The experience offers several options. This price includes:

Plain Paper Plan
