〈KAMISUKI ACTIVITY〉

Written with Google translation
   

About 1 hour from central Tokyo. Why don’t you make paper from wood in rich nature!


 
About 1 hour from central Tokyo to the west side. There is rich nature beyond the city here. In summer fireflies flutter in the river in front of the workshop, autumn leaves are also beautiful in autumn.
 
We grow also the mulberry tree which is the raw material of Japanese paper inside a large site. Peel off the wood, tap it and make it fine fiber, then do paper making.
 
We also use well water for paper making. It is fun to draw with hand pumps.
 
After the workshop is over, you can relax in the hot spring ` TsuruTsuru Onsen'. It is approximately 20 minutes by car from here. You can also go by bus from Musashi Itsukaichi station. It takes about 20 minutes. Tatoo is OK.

和紙キャンドル

 

 
This is "Hinode Washi" original paper making.
Paper is made by placing plant fibers on a flat net and drying.
 
Here You will place the fiber on the towel. Then squeeze and dry.
 
We applied this to "paper making with a towel." The paper traces a towel pile fabric and you can create a unique texture.
 
Next, we prepare preliminarily dried paper, so you will make it light with that paper.
 
In this course, you make 2 pieces of towelpaper first. Take these 2 pieces and dry them at home later (it takes 4 to 5 days to dry). Next, We will give you dried towel paper, so peel off the paper from towel, wrap the LED candle with the paper to complete the LED mini washi candle like the photo above. You can take this on the day.
 
 
You can see how to make paper with towel by this video.
