Let's make a one-of-a-kind work of art by combining traditional washi paper or old cloth with baskets using "ikkan-bari," a traditional craft.

Ikkan-bari is a traditional craft in which washi paper is stretched over bamboo baskets and wooden objects, and then coated with “kakishibu” (persimmon tannin used for strength and protection against water). At Atelier Sennichiko, you can try ikkan-bari using authentic washi paper, or old kimono cloth.

Atelier Sennichiko

Ikkan-bari is a traditional Japanese craft from long ago made of bamboo baskets or wooden objects covered with layers of Japanese paper and finished with “kakishibu” (persimmon tannin used for strength and protection against water). The word “ikkan-bari” (一閑張り) means "strong enough to withstand consistent weight", which is the origin of its name. (Note that there are various other theories as well.)

Comment by orgnaizer

Using authentic washi paper, such as old kimono cloth and traditional note taking paper, we also offer workshops on "making ikkan-bari bamboo plates" and wooden fuda decorations from the Hyakunin Isshu (one hundred poems) using old cloth. Why don't you join us and make your own "one-of-a-kind" ikkan-bari work of art?
