Overview

We offer an experience of making handmade Japanese paper, a traditional Japanese craft. Tosa Washi is one of Japan's three major traditional papers, with a history of over 1,000 years. It is known for its durability and warmth.This activity is easy to try and makes for a memorable part of your visit to Asakusa. Recommended for those who like crafts and Japanese culture/traditional crafts. After watching a short video about the history and process of making Tosa Washi, you'll put on traditional Japanese work clothes called "samue" and create your own washi paper with the help of a friendly instructor. First, make a plain postcard and layer beautiful colored paper called [Rakusui-shi] on top. There are various colors, so please choose your favorite 4 pieces. The workshop is filled with lively laughter, and many people are captivated by the beauty of their finished Japanese paper. We hope you'll take home your own washi paper as a special souvenir.

would rec!!

it was a great experience with a wonderful teacher! the whole class was very hands on and i got to take home an incredible souvenir!

Fun traditional paper making experience

Published on May, 2025

We did the color paper making and it was very fun and private experience. You learn about each step first and then get your hands dirty doing everything from mixing to drying. The teacher was informative and patient. The whole thing takes about 45 minutes and you leave with 4 postcard size pieces of paper. Would do again.

Great paper experience

Published on May, 2025

Such a good idea- how to make washi paper under the guidance of the expert. An enjoyable experience you should try it! Can’t wait to print on it when I return home.

Fun way to spend an hour in Asakusa

Published on Apr, 2025

So fun! Was looking for something different to do, and this was a great way to spend an hour. Learned a lot and made some beautiful postcards
