Description
You will learn two types of Washi art techniques:how to use Washi ink and how to make paper-cut art. Washi ink is created by dissolved colored paper. Using molds on a Washi paper canvas, you will design your painting with Washi ink.
Washi paper cutting involves cutting washi paper into desired shapes. By placing the cut washi on the raw material in the mold, you can color the washi to decorate it.
While your paper is drying, let’s relax with our original and only kind "Japanese paper tea" along with local Japanese sweets. The Japanese paper tea is brewed from kozo leaves, which are the raw material for making paper.
In this workshop, you will be taking your A5-sized piece of Washi art and one postcard. You can choose to take the postcard with you or send it to someone you care about. If you wish to send the card, we will guide you on how to mail your designed letter. To mail your postcard at a post office, an additional fee is required.

Recommendation for a creative and relaxing break!
I spent a wonderful afternoon in the workshop. The workshop is in a quiet corner of Tokyo, which makes it ideal for a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of the city.
After a short introduction, we got straight to work. We designed an A5 card and two A6 postcards in 1.5 hours. As stated in the program, we were served tea and Japanese sweets while we waited for the cards to dry.
Very friendly workshop leader. I felt very comfortable and had a lot of fun!
I hope to be able to attend one of the other courses on my next visit to Tokyo!
