Experience weaving Japanese beauty: A traditional craft workshop with female artisans from Mie Prefecture
A workshop where you can experience traditional Japanese culture will be held for three days from November to December in Meiwa Town, Mie Prefecture.
You can experience Iga braiding, Ise netsuke, and Ise stencil paper making, traditional crafts that Mie Prefecture is proud of, under the guidance of female craftsmen active in Japan.
At this event, well-known female craftsmen will provide thorough instruction to each participant, so even beginners can feel free to participate.
I think it will be a special experience for travelers to Ise and those who love Japanese culture.
Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to experience the beauty of Japanese culture!
- Iga Kumihimo : Combine delicate threads to create kumihimo, a symbol of traditional Japanese beauty. This is a rare opportunity to experience authentic techniques in a short amount of time.
