Kyoto; Traditional Japanese Washi Papermaking

Overview

A Traditional Washi Art Experience Discover the serene beauty of Kamisuki, the ancient art of Japanese papermaking. In this immersive 1-hour session, you’ll feel the texture of raw natural fibers and witness the moment a simple liquid transforms into a delicate sheet of paper. Under the gentle guidance of our instructors, you will "add flowers" to tradition by arranging seasonal blossoms onto your wet paper. Whether it becomes a set of postcards for a loved one or a soft lampshade for your home, your creation will carry the warmth of your own hands and the spirit of Japanese seasons.
