Making New Year's Decorations

About this event

Making New Year's Decorations, held at the Minamisoma City Museum, is a hands-on event where participants craft traditional shimenawa straw ornaments using rice straw. As part of preparations for the Japanese New Year, this event provides a precious opportunity to experience the long-standing culture of New Year decorations. Under the guidance of an instructor, participants can carefully weave straw strands one by one to complete their own unique shimenawa decoration. The finished decoration will be a warm, handmade piece suitable for celebrating the New Year. The event is open to elementary school students and older, and children in 3rd grade or below must be accompanied by a guardian. Capacity is limited to 15 participants, and early registration is recommended. Through this experience, why not learn about traditional Japanese culture and prepare to welcome the New Year together with your family?
