Experience Japanese Culture Firsthand ≪Seashell Hina Doll Making Experience≫

Create Your Own Unique Japanese Hina Dolls – A Memorable Experience!
Discover the charm of Japanese culture by crafting your own Hina Doll, symbolic figures traditionally displayed during Japan’s annual Hina Matsuri (Doll Festival) on March 3rd. These elegant dolls represent the Emperor, Empress and are believed to bring happiness for young girls. In this special workshop, you’ll repurpose natural materials like real pearls, seashells, and unused kimono fabric to create your very own Hina Doll. From choosing materials to coordinating the colors and patterns of the kimono fabric, every step is a delightful journey of self-expression. Each handmade doll reflects the warmth and individuality of its creator, making your piece truly one of a kind.
By following the Japanese idea of "Zero Waste," you can enjoy sustainable crafting while connecting with nature and tradition. This activity is perfect for everyone—adults and children. It’s a relaxing and fun way to learn about Japanese culture while making a special souvenir.
Your finished Hina Doll will be more than just a lovely souvenir. They will remind you of your time exploring Japanese culture and bring you warmth and happiness every time you see them.
Come and join us for this creative and meaningful experience!
