Highlight Best 3

1.  You can experience traditional papermaking in an elegant house using ancient tools
2.  Simple and unrestricted! Open to everyone from small children to adults
3.  Use the paper you make to open up possibilities for other types of handicrafts

[ What to know for a better experience ]
・You can press flowers, thread, and more in Japanese paper to make original designs
※If you have lightweight, thin material that can be put between sheets of paper, please bring it with you
・If cutting your finished paper, you can use a brush dipped in water to draw the shape you want to make on your paper; this will let you make an elegant, clean cut

[ Points of note ]
Papermaking involves a great deal of upper-body use, so you should wear clothes that grant freedom of movement
