Highlights

Create your own traditional Japanese umbrella (wagasa) in a hands-on workshop led by skilled artisans in Kanazawa's historic Higashi Chaya District. Choose your favorite washi paper and experience the traditional techniques used to craft this iconic Japanese art. An English-speaking guide will be available to assist throughout the workshop, making it easy and enjoyable for everyone. Depending on the experience you choose, you'll either take home your completed mini wagasa on the same day or have your full-size wagasa professionally finished and shipped to your designated address, creating a one-of-a-kind keepsake from your visit to Japan.

About Kanazawa

Kanazawa is a castle city on Japan's Sea of Japan coast, with the celebrated Kenrokuen garden, geisha and samurai districts, gold leaf and fresh seafood.

Kanazawa was the seat of the Maeda clan, who ruled the rich Kaga domain through the Edo period, and it escaped the bombing of the Second World War, so its old streets survive. Kenrokuen, one of Japan's three great landscape gardens, spreads over a hill beside the castle, with ponds, stone lanterns and pines that are held up by ropes against the winter snow. The turrets and gates of Kanazawa Castle have been rebuilt.
