You can experience how to make traditional Japanese paper, we make Japanese paper by hand, starting from cultivating the kozo tree, which is the raw material. My shop is close to Ueno and Asakusa. You can participate in the workshop with the mascot cat.
We offer "Japanese paper tea" that is not offered elsewhere. We will guide you through the downtown shopping streets of Tokyo that are not listed in guidebooks. You can make a special Japanese paper that cannot be made anywhere else.
We also plan to guide visitors to other unique Japanese places such as cherry blossoms and festivals, depending on the time of year.
However, the content may be changed in case of inclement weather such as rain or extreme heat, or in case of illness.
We have several candidates for making another sheet of Japanese paper or a key ring with mizuhiki, a paper string.
You can choose the one you prefer.
