To Our Valued Customers,
We sincerely appreciate your continued support and patronage.
We express our heartfelt gratitude on behalf of Handmade Washi Experience Studio.
Starting from Monday, October 2nd, 2023, we will implement a price revision for the experience fees at the Handmade Washi Experience Studio for new reservations.
Despite our ongoing efforts to maintain prices, due to increases in raw material costs, utilities, and general inflation, it has become challenging to sustain the current pricing. Therefore, we will be making the following changes to the prices.
We will continue to strive to provide our customers with enjoyable experiences, as always. We kindly ask for your understanding regarding these adjustments and appreciate your unwavering support.
1. Revision Date: Monday, October 2nd, 2023
2. Revised Prices:
- Washi Experience: 500 yen → 800 yen
- Rakusui-Shi / Sukashi Washi / Lace Washi Experience: 700 yen → 1,000 yen
- Design Washi Experience: 1,000 yen → 1,300 yen
- Private Experience: 4,000 yen → 5,000 yen
- Group Experience: 500 yen → 800 yen

Rakusui-Shi: RAKUSUI, or “water dropping” in English, is a traditional washi-making technique that allows us to make washi with different patterns by dropping water from above spraying water with a shower.
We can also use a mold made of water-repellent material with a smooth surface, to create patterns.
Lace Washi: We will use the specially made molds designed by a Japanese Washi artist Tomomi Tamura. Please choose one from the three designs: 1. Circus Elephant 2. “OZ” patterns 3. Dogs and Cats.

You can draw patterns freely on an A4 washi paper using the materials we have in our studio: colored washi paper, Yuzen washi (patterned paper), Tengu-joshi (thin paper), pressed flowers, colored Kozo fibers, and gold/silver leaves. You can also combine different colored washi and/or colored Kozo fibers. You can also bring in your own materials or motifs.
Note: when you bring in your own materials, please choose thin, flat, non-water-repellent materials to finish your paper nicely.
