About this event
Welcome the New Year with a handmade shimekazari! At the "Winter Break Workshop: Shimekazari Making" held at Iki Harunotsuji Ikikoku Capital Restoration Park, participants can try their hand at making an original shimekazari sacred straw rope ornament. By crafting by hand this traditional year-end staple, the workshop offers an opportunity to make preparations for welcoming the New Year even more special. Participants can learn traditional decorating techniques while giving free rein to their creativity to complete their own unique shimekazari. A handmade shimekazari is wonderful not only for decorating your own home, but also as a delightful gift for someone special. Why not take this chance to experience traditional Japanese culture and welcome the New Year with a warm heart?
