Unwind in a space designed to feel like a "hot spring of light" and create a truly one-of-a-kind piece of art using rare, high-quality Japanese paper (washi). This isn't a traditional, stiff, scripted workshop. I’ve lived in Japan for 25 years working as an artist, consultant, and coach. Because of that, the 3-hour session is packed with completely unfiltered, deep conversations about the "real Japan" that you won't hear on standard tourist routes. We are a genuine hidden gem—tucked away on a quiet, peaceful street right near a major attraction in Tempozan. During the workshop, you will lose track of time, get deep into your creative flow, and build a beautiful lamp. Don't worry about getting it home, either; I provide very sturdy, branded boxes to protect your creation for the journey, along with small LEDs and a surprise gift. You will also get to meet my Japanese wife, Kotose, who runs the adjoining cafe. Depending on the package you choose, you can also include an authentic matcha and Japanese sweets experience crafted by her. Come learn about the amazing Washi industry, see how we are working to preserve this craft, and make something no one else has ever made before.
