Visit Wakayama

At the "Asserina Workshop" located in the mountains of Kimino-cho, Wakayama Prefecture, this is a craft program where you can experience making fans using Japanese paper, a traditional Japanese material.
In the immediate vicinity of the workshop is Kongoji Temple, known as Kamataki Yakushi, where you can enjoy creating works in a calm environment surrounded by the quiet appearance of a temple and the nature of the satoyama. The charm of this workshop is that you can see the scenery of the mountain village from the window, and you can work on your work while feeling the leisurely flow of time.

At the Haserina Workshop, you can experience making craft works using washi paper. Washi paper is a traditional Japanese material made from plant fibers such as mulberry, and is characterized by its strong yet soft texture. In Japan, it has been used for various purposes such as books, shoji screens, and crafts since ancient times.

In this experience, you will create a "fan" that has become popular as a summer tool in Japan. You can choose your favorite Japanese paper while thinking about the design and making your own original fan. By combining the patterns and colors of washi paper, you can create a one-of-a-kind work.
