About this experience
Discover the spiritual heart of Japan through its most elegant New Year tradition. While many observe Japanese culture from afar, this workshop invites you to participate in it.
Why this activity is unique You will craft a Shimenawa Wreath, a sacred rope traditionally hung at shrines and homes to purify the entrance and invite good fortune. This is not just a craft; it is a meditative experience rooted in the philosophy of Ikebana—emphasizing harmony, seasonality, and the beauty of empty space (Ma).
What you will experience
Mindfulness: Step away from the busy travel rush and find focus in the rhythm of weaving.
Symbolism: Learn the hidden language of nature as you work with materials like Rice Straw (gratitude), Pine (evergreen longevity), and Mizuhiki cords (unity).
Authenticity: Create a talisman that protects your home and symbolizes a fresh start.
Don't just buy a souvenir. Create a personalized symbol of luck, longevity, and joy to carry with you into the New Year.
