Overview

This is fan making, a traditional Japanese culture that has continued since the Heian period.

You will choose a design paper with your favorite pattern and coat a white fan.

We use a special patented solvent, so you can rest assured that it will not yellow or peel off.

This is the only course that is not offered elsewhere.

Japanese patterns are also available. Men can also enjoy this class.

Finally, crystals (Swarovski) are added for a touch of glamour.

It is not only for use as a fan to look up to, but also as a beautiful interior decoration for your room.
It is perfect for use as a fan for yourself or as a souvenir.

*Flupage uses a patented special solvent distinct from decoupage, preventing yellowing or peeling.

We will introduce the method in a video that is easy to understand even for beginners.

*** A cup of coffee is included. **

We will have lessons at a cafe just a 2-minute walk from the JR Keihin Tohoku Line Tokyu Oimachi Line
