Overview

Create an art piece that can decorate your room with a gentle light! In this workshop, you will create An Origami lamp and Mizuhiki knot belt.

LED light passes through washi paper, gently lighting up the space with a very soft light. It brings pressure to both the eyes and the heart.

You will fold and glue several sheets of handmade washi paper in a bellows-like manner. Inserting a small lamp inside the bellows-like washi paper, the ramp shines with gentle and warm light. Additionally, you will create a mizuhiki knot ornament for the belt. At the end of the session, we offer Japanese sweets with "Japanese paper tea" that is not offered elsewhere.

Enjoy the beauty and potential of washi paper by making your art piece.

Please be informed that this workshop requires detailed skills that may not be suitable for young children. If you are looking for a family activity, we recommend "Private Workshop to Create Paper Last for 1,000 years in Ueno".

What to expect

Experience the Japanese tradition and create your own artworks! We'll introduce the basics of washi paper with a guide document. An Origami lamp is created by folding and gluing together several sheets of handmade washi paper in a bellows-like manner. Inserting a small lamp inside the bellows-like washi paper, the ramp shines with gentle and warm light. When you close the bellows shape, the shape will look like a closed book. Additionally, you will create a mizuhiki knot (paper strings) ornament for the belt.
At the end, you will have your one and only Origami lump. At the end of the session, we offer Japanese sweets with "Japanese paper tea" that is not offered elsewhere!

“Mizuhiki” is a traditional paper cord, with a core of twisted washi paper, wrapped by nylon or film, making it a very decorative cord. Did you know each knot has meanings? Knowing the meaning of knots makes them perfect for gifts.

Because washi is light and durable, it is perfect for art pieces and interior decor. Let’s learn about the Japanese traditional crafts and its skills to create your own original art piece.

This workshop is not suitable for young children due to the detailed work required.
