This activity is very popular these days. It is a light and solid string because it is winding a thin twisted paper with thread. Let's knit this string and make accessories and ornaments. For example, straps of strawberries, floral hair ornaments, cute earrings and mini baskets.Once you start making it, you will concentrate on it, so you can finally relax with Matcha and sweets.

Pleasant no teaching materials

Patient and kind lady... No sheet or diagram , being visual I would have liked to have had one to be able to reproduce the model(s) learned instead of making them from memory or searching on the internet. It is a private workshop, no materials available for purchase. A pleasant experience.

Operator response

It seems you make things by hand, and you've skillfully used mizuhiki to create beautiful accessories. Thank you so much for coming.

Wonderful experience & beautiful craft!

I feel exceptionally lucky that I was able to take this class one on one. The designs look very complicated but my instructor (I never asked her name 😭) was very patient with me and helped me make a beautiful set of earrings! I hope I can come back to learn other designs!!

Operator response

Thank you for visiting us. You made beautiful flower earrings with great skill. I look forward to seeing you again.

Great fun!

So much fun. You get in a zone and focus and the time flies. We also got matcha, sweets and extra materials to make more things at home. I can't wait to make more accessories at home and gift to friends

Operator response

She seems to be used to making accessories, and she quickly understood how to tie the Mizuhiki and completed a very cute accessory. Thank you very much.

Lovely craft class

The most friendly and welcoming lady. A small authentic feeling setting. Can also rent kimono at the shop.

Operator response

I'm sorry for the late reply. At that time, you worked really hard on making accessories and completed a cute keychain. Thank you very much.

Great traditional craft lesson!

Akemi is a patient and kind teacher. She demonstrated how to make the basic knot and then guided me to learn how to make a leaf knot and a flat plum knot, first with one mizuhiki cord, then with 2, and 3 different colors. I made pieces that can be hung on my daypack. I enjoyed my lesson very much. I highly recommend Akemi’s lesson if you want to learn a Japanese traditional craft.

Operator response

Thank you for your wonderful review. You were quick to understand and created a cute accessory. Thank you so much for coming.
