Participants can combine their favorite kimono patterns and colors to create a traditional yet creative furoshiki.
Furoshiki, an iconic item representing Japan's "wrapping culture," can be used as a lunchbox cover, bag, bottle wrapping, or tablecloth once completed.
In this workshop, we use high-quality and beautiful kimonos salvaged from the tearing down of old houses.
Unfortunately, many kimonos are discarded like other waste materials.
Currently, Japan is seeing a decline in the use of kimonos and the preservation of old houses. This experience is more than just a craft activity, it is an opportunity to connect with Japan's rich cultural heritage and take a step towards a sustainable future.
While preserving the essence of Japan's cultural heritage, participants breathe new life into old kimonos and create their own unique furoshiki, experiencing a sense of accomplishment.
