Product Info

Why not try making your own original mini tatami mat while experiencing the traditional Japanese culture of 'tatami' right here in Sapporo? In this workshop, you will learn about tatami, a staple of Japanese life for centuries, and create your very own mini tatami mat in about 1 hour. You can take your finished piece home with you, making it a perfect memento of your Sapporo trip or a unique, authentically Japanese souvenir. The studio is conveniently located in Chuo-ku, Sapporo, making it easily accessible. It is a great way to experience Japanese culture even during a busy sightseeing schedule. 【Experience Overview】 We will start with a brief introduction to the history of tatami and how it has been used in Japanese homes. We will also explain what 'igusa' (rush grass) is, how it is used in tatami, and how it is processed. After the introduction, it is time to start making your mini tatami mat! First, you will choose your preferred color of igusa. Then, you will select your favorite design from a variety of colors and patterns for the 'tatami-beri' (tatami border fabric). The combination you choose will greatly change the overall look, allowing you to enjoy creating a design that is uniquely yours. Once the design is set, you will attach the igusa to the base, shape it, and apply the tatami-beri. You will use tools such as scissors, hammers, and nails throughout the process. Even if it is your first time, our staff will guide you step-by-step, so beginners can enjoy the crafting process with confidence. Finally, after finishing the back side, your one-of-a-kind original mini tatami mat is complete! You can use your finished mini tatami as a coaster, a display base for figures or favorite small items, a photo stand, or simply as an interior decoration. Rather than just sightseeing, this is a special memory you can keep by touching Japanese traditional culture and creating something with your own hands. We invite you to enjoy this authentic Japanese crafting experience as a highlight of your trip to Sapporo.
