April 27, 28: Washi Paper-making Workshop

In this workshop you can experience the process of traditional washi paper-making in an easier way.
Make your own original washi in a post card size by recycling the fiber of the old shoji (Japanese sliding door) paper used in the folk houses of our museum and mixing in decorative materials such as dried plants. Wrap the piece of washi around a small glass bottle or put it into a photo stand to make a lovely light.

  • Date: April 27 (Saturday), April 28 (Sunday) *subject to cancel in case of heavy rain
  • Time: ①10:00~ ②11:00~ ③13:00~ ④14:05~ ⑤15:00~ *50 minutes for each slot
  • Who can participate: anybody
       *Children under 3rd grade must be accompanied by a guardian.
  • Capacity: 6 participants for each time slot
  • Fee: 700 Yen, the admission to Nihon Minka-en required in addition
  • How to participate: Numbered tickets will be handed out on the day (9:30~) at the venue
  • Place: the yard of 6. The Sasaki House
[The washi we use]
The paper used in the old shoji (Japanese sliding door) in the folk houses of our museum are recycled in this workshop. Most of it is Hosokawa-shi, which is among the Representative List of Human Intangible Cultural Heritage.
You can feel the unique texture of washi, which is different from the paper you usually use.
*The color and texture may vary as the paper uses natural material.
