Japanese New Year Craft Workshop
Make Your Own Shimenawa!
Celebrate the Japanese New Year by creating your own traditional Shimenawa decoration!
Shimenawa is a traditional Japanese decoration often displayed during the New Year season. It is believed to welcome good fortune and invite Toshigami, the deity of the New Year, into our homes.
In this hands-on workshop, you will learn about the meaning and tradition of Shimenawa while making your own decoration to take home.
Traditionally, Shimenawa is made from rice straw. For this workshop, we will use paper twine as an alternative material, making this a fun and accessible craft experience for everyone!
No previous crafting experience is necessary. Come and enjoy a little piece of Japanese New Year culture with us!
