About this event
As part of the "Tsuno Tsunedzune #7" hands-on marche held in Tsuno Town, Kochi Prefecture, the "Mini Waraji Making" workshop will be hosted. In this workshop, participants will make palm-sized straw sandals inspired by the "Kongo Bakko," large waraji that have traditionally been dedicated in the Miyatani district of Tsuno Town as talismans to protect the community from pestilence. Local residents carrying on straw-craft traditions will serve as instructors, and by weaving straw strand by strand with your own hands, you can experience the way of life and heartfelt wishes passed down through the region. Why not take this opportunity to make your own original amulet while connecting with local traditional culture?
