What to expect

No experience necessary! Join us for a fun and interactive session exploring TAMASUDARE, a traditional Japanese performance art that uses the technique of mitate—expressing something by representing it with something completely different. Based on imagination, this uniquely Japanese art transforms simple bamboo sticks into various shapes right before your eyes—and then you’ll get to try it yourself!

With 20 years of experience, your professional guide will teach you step by step, making it easy for anyone to enjoy. You can also wear traditional garments like a hood and haori coat for a deeper cultural experience. In just one hour, you’ll learn the history, techniques, and joy of TAMASUDARE.

I sell TAMASUDARE. Please take them home as souvenirs and use them to delight your family and friends at parties.
