I was the only one for that class and I had a private instructor. She spoke English and give me instructions on how to paint a fan. The class was in a flower shop so she let me pick my flowers and colors. I painted my fan with a garland of small yellow flowers. With her guidance I complete the project and I was astonished with the result. I left with a beautiful souvenir : a painted fan of my own making.
Thank you so much for your lovely review 😊 I'm so glad you enjoyed the workshop, and that I could help you create a fan you're happy with!!
My friend and I are absolutely beginners when it comes to art, but we were guided with the most patience and kindness. Thank you for a beautiful experience and a fun souvenir!
Thank you so much for joining the workshop! It was so lovely to see your fans coming together, and I hope you continue to create art in the future!
Lovely time painting a fan. Aki was incredibly helpful, kind and encouraging during the session. She provided guidance and helped make this a wonderful experience.
Thank you so much for joining the fan painting session! I’m so glad you enjoyed the experience. It was wonderful creating together, and I’m happy I could support you along the way. I hope your fan brings back lovely memories of your time here! 🌸
What a fun experience! This took place in a beautiful flower shop and my friend and I were the only participants so we received very personal attention. The girls helping us have outstanding skills in English and even with very limited atistic ability on my part, I was able to create a passable fan. Unfortunately, the taxi dropped us at the wrong meeting place but an exceptionally kind manager there walked us to the flower shop at a location that we would never have found on our own. We were amazed at the kindness of all of the Korean people involved.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the fan painting workshop and that you had fun creating your own unique fan — it turned out beautifully! It was a pleasure welcoming you and your friend into our flower shop. We're especially glad the team could make you feel supported, even with the taxi mix-up. Your appreciation truly means a lot to us, and we hope you’ll carry a little piece of Tokyo with you through your fan. Please come visit us again anytime!
Had a quiet afternoon designing and painting a fan and took some photos at the end. I was able to get helpful advice on painting on an irregular surface using acrylic and water based paints. Overall a nice time, but I've done quite a few workshops and this one is *very* expensive in comparison. The session I was in also felt a bit rushed as it seemed like they were trying to wrap up in 1 hr 30 mins to 1 hr 45 mins to be ready for next session which wasn't what I expected from a workshop duration listed as about 2 hours.
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're glad to hear you enjoyed designing and painting your fan and that our advice on painting techniques was helpful! We truly value your feedback about the workshop's pace and cost. We aim to create an enriching and relaxing experience for every participant, so we’re sorry to hear that the session felt rushed and did not meet the full expected duration. We'll review our scheduling to ensure future sessions allow ample time for creativity and do not feel hurried. Regarding the price, we understand the concern and want to assure you that our workshop pricing reflects not only the unique setting in a Tokyo flower shop but also the high-quality materials and personalized guidance provided. However, we will take your comments into consideration as we continue to improve. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope to have the chance to welcome you back in the future for an even better workshop! 🌸
Highly recommend it! It's a fun, light, entertaining and original japanese experience me and my partner shared. Ruby and the team were welcoming and thoughtful. Neither of us are great painters, but with Ruby's assistance we had some amazing results. If you want to just have fun and paint something silly or want a elegant souvenir the team will help you get there all while ensure you're having fun and have something to share back at home and brag about! As a note, the flower shop is beautiful and worth a visit in itself!

I just attended a fan painting workshop in Japan, and it was awesome! It's set up so everyone has what they need to paint their own fan, and the instructor is super chill—helpful but lets you do your thing. It was also a great way to meet people. Everyone's chatting and painting, and it feels more like hanging out than a formal class. The best part? You get to keep the fan you paint. It’s not just a cool way to beat the heat but also a unique piece of decor for your place. If you’re looking for something fun and cultural to do, this workshop is a great pick. Totally worth checking out!

I appreciate your recommendation and am so glad you found the workshop to be a valuable and fun cultural experience. Hope to see you again soon for more creative adventure. -Ruby
