We’ll create art work using washi, like collage pictures or aqueous pen drawings.

We provide colorful, thin, lacy washi for the picture layout, and white washi cards for their mounts.

You don’t need to prepare anything for that, but if you’d like to make picture on something you have, please bring it. You can create washi art on anything.

Anyone can do it easily!

……………………………………………………………………………………………

Washi has a history of about 1400 years, and has features of being thin, durable, and long-lasting. The Shosoin (National Treasure House) has a 1200-year-old book in which every page is cut from a different washi. UNESCO added washi to its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage Items. Washi handicraft is protected as a traditional art form in Japan.
