Yanagiu Washi Torn-Paper Collage Kokeshi Experience
This is a Sendai-only hands-on experience using “Yanagiu Washi,” handmade washi paper made from kozo grown in Sendai’s Yanagiu area.
Select Application Method
Same-day participation is also available. (Reservations are given priority.) Please sign up directly at the venue.
Tear washi paper and stick it onto a kokeshi doll—anyone can easily create their own “Chigiri-e Kokeshi” (torn-paper collage kokeshi).
Finish it by drawing the face with a marker pen, and it’s complete!
Perfect as a Sendai travel memory or a souvenir.
