Shimane Skills Festival 2026 in Masuda

About this event

Shimane Skills Festival 2026 in Masuda is an event aimed at introducing the wonders of technical craftsmanship and artisans' work while fostering children's interest in hands-on making. At the Masuda venue, hands-on workshop programs designed for elementary and junior high school students are planned, allowing them to work with various materials and techniques such as making mini tatami mats, foundry casting workshops, copper plate relief carving, and creating moss balls (kokedama). Through these experiences, participants can directly feel the skill of craftspersons and the joy of creation. Admission and participation are free, but workshop tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 8:45 AM on the event day, with a limit of up to 2 workshops per person. Accompaniment by a guardian is recommended for lower-grade elementary school children. The event is organized by Shimane Prefecture and the Shimane Prefecture Vocational Ability Development Association, and event details may be subject to change.
