Immerse yourself in Okinawan tradition at our welcoming workshop, located just a short distance from Naha's bustling Kokusai Street. Craft or paint your very own Shisa—the iconic lion-dog guardian deities that protect Okinawan homes. With helpful support from our staff, this fun 1-hour experience is perfect for families and adults alike. Best of all, you can take your creation home on the same day!
Plan 1: Ceramic Shisa Painting (Medium Size)
Bring a traditional guardian deity to life with your own color palette! This medium size is perfect for home displays. Choose your favorite artisan-made Shisa and color it freely.
Plan 2: Ceramic Shisa Painting (Large Size)
Make a bold statement with a large-sized Shisa painting experience, offering a bigger canvas for detailed designs. It stands out beautifully as a main room decoration.
Plan 3: Unglazed Shisa Making
Experience the joy of pottery by molding a palm-sized 3D Shisa from scratch using authentic Okinawan clay. Customize the pose and expression, then watch it fire in the kiln for 20 minutes!
