Magical and joyful Japanese arts and crafts experience! My mom, sister and I went during our first trip to Japan to this delightful Kanzashi workshop nestled a top a darling neighborhood cafe in the Abeno Ward. The cafe is in traditional Japanese style architecture. Our sensei Misa was wonderful and guided our hands to each make a beautiful kanzashi with our own handpicked colors and patterns. We were first greeted by June and Ami who were lovely and kept bringing us refreshments and treats like matcha and sweets. We bought several handmade earrings and more elaborate kanzashi after the class, and our looking forward to returning for another class and to see our new friends!! 🌸💕

Amazing!! The location is this old building that showcases lots of traditional woodwork. It also smelt so nice from the front incense that was burning. The Sensei was fantastic and everyone in our group of six completed a kanzashi. It was a fun activity and if you want a chill cultural experience in a very unique building I’d recommend this. It’s really cool you get to make your own hair clip to keep too.

We had a large group of six people attend this class. It was a wonderful experience where we learned a bit of history on the art and had step by step instructions on how to fold the petals to make our flower pins. We had an English speaking guide and she stayed with us to interpret the instructor. Everyone was so nice and they answered all our questions. We were also able to buy some already made pieces the instructor had displayed in the shop. Beautiful work and easy to make! Everyone was very happy with this experience and we would do it again or try to continue the craft at home.

The workshop was so much fun!😊 The material for the kanzashi was extremly pretty and I liked how it turned out! The teacher was really knowledgeable and explained it in a way that was easy to follow. The people were really nice and we had a lot of great conversations😊 Thank you a lot for all the lovely chats! 💕We would definitely recommend it!!!
