Private Workshop to Create Paper Last for 1,000 years in Ueno
Description
In this workshop, you will make 4 paper products, so a lot of stuff to do! At the end, you will have your design of two postcards, Rakusui paper, and A5 paper. You will experience the entire process of Japanese papermaking, including Hyouhitor (peeling off the outer bark) and Dakai (beating tree fibers). Then, pour the raw material into a paper-making mold and deckle before sifting the solution to form an even and flat sheet of paper. While your paper is drying, we offer our original "Japanese paper tea" along with local Japanese sweets. We make tea from Kozo leaves, which are the raw material for making paper, and the sweets are sourced from a beloved local shop. Disclaimer: There is a cat in my workshop. Please inform us if you have any allergies.

Traveled to Singapore via Doha with qua-tar airlines we ordered the easy on the stomach food, sandwich white bread with lettuce on it was yuk, then from Australia via qua-tar airlines to Doha then Doha to Manchester, comfort seats, which were good, food I have never had so much rubbish food wise, did not eat it from Australia to Doha where I ate in the airport at Doha then to Manchester ate nothing the food was presented to me but inedible. Staff no smiles didn’t care what you asked and uninterested. I’ve been on trips with tui to Caribbean food not too bad,) tui staff respect was second to none. I’m not qua-tar’s first class passenger but please don’t give me inedible food and your staff needs teaching how to smile and talk to their ordinary customers with respect.
Thank you for your review. (Sorry for the late reply.) However, the content mainly concerns the food at the airport, and there is no mention of the workshop. If possible, we would greatly appreciate it if you could send us a review specifically about the workshop.
An absolute must if visiting Tokyo. The workshop mascot cat Kami is adorable and you get to create 4 different papers.
Thanks so much for taking the time to post this review. I was very happy that you enjoyed making washi paper. Thanks so much for sending me a picture of my mascot cat. We hope you will use it as a wonderful art print. The mascot cat and I look forward to seeing you again next time.
The teacher was excellent and she was patient and kind. The Washi paper creation process was fun and we really enjoyed the special tea and sweets.
Thanks so much for taking the time to post this review. I was very happy that you enjoyed making washi paper. All of our washi are unique and cannot be made anywhere else. We hope you will use it as a wonderful gift card. The mascot cat and I look forward to seeing you again next time.
