Join a unique cultural experience in Tokyo where you’ll create your own handmade wreath using tatami mat edges, a traditional Japanese craft material. Tatami edges are decorative fabric strips that have been used in Japan for centuries, once reserved for people of high status during the Nara period (710–794). Today, they are still crafted with care and feature beautiful patterns that reflect the elegance of old Japan.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to design a stylish wreath using these special woven fabrics. It’s a fun and relaxing way to explore Japanese culture through hands-on creativity. Whether you’re new to crafting or experienced, you’ll enjoy making something meaningful to take home — a perfect memory of your time in Japan.

I participated in the experience of tatami rim wreath. It was fun to choose your favorite one from many different patterns and come up with combinations. The work took a little time, but the teacher taught me carefully, so even I, who had little experience in crafting, could work with peace of mind. When I finished it, I was full of joy and accomplishment, and it was a good memory that I was able to create a wonderful work while being exposed to Japanese traditions.
