Product Info

The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.

  • This is an experience plan to make a Japanese book (B5 size, 40 pages). Choose a cover from three colors: red, light purple, or light green, and then paint the frontispiece. Choose binding thread from three colors: red, blue, or yellow, and bind the paper using a method called yotsume binding. Create a stencil and finish by painting the stencil on the cover. The experience takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. Please bring your desired design (rough sketch) on the day. Sample designs are also available. You can take the finished product home on the day. In a short amount of time, you can create a memorable piece that evokes the Japanese culture unique to Kyoto.

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about parts that are difficult to understand or tips for finishing it beautifully. Try making a wonderful Japanese book that reflects your individuality.
