Kokeshi Painting Workshop “Make your own kokeshi!”

Painting workshop fee: ¥600

Participants: high school student or younger
Workshop duration: about an hour
Maximum participants per workshop: up to 12 participants per workshop

There will be plain wood and paint at the workshop, so you can participate without bringing anything. Kokeshi was created and developed in the Tohoku region. Although they all have the appearance of “a cylindrical body and a sphere-shaped head,” the face and body patterns are unique to the artisan, giving each piece a distinct appeal. Why not try making your own original kokeshi?

All workshops require a reservation.
Please reserve by email at least a week before the day you want to request the workshop.
