Create Your Own Temari: Interactive Crafting Session in Kurashiki
Why don't you make your one and only Temari in the world? She usually runs a glasses shop, but for everyone's benefit, Grandma Yasue will teach you how to make them for those who come to Kurashiki! Temari has long been a favorite folk craft of Kurashiki. Temari is made by wrapping thread around a core filled with rice husks and embroidery. In this experience, you will start by embroidering the core that has been made in advance. We will hold a workshop of "Temari", a popular Kurashiki souvenir. Please make your own one-of-a-kind temari with your favorite pattern. You can decorate your room, make a key chain, or use it in any way you like. The workshop will last approximately 3 hours. With an English-speaking guide.

9:40 - 12:20
Temari Handmade
Time to make Temari by yourself under the supervision of Grandma Yasue. The ball’s surface is random wrapped with sewing thread that evenly covers the ball with threads going in every direction. Thus, stitches can be placed in every direction. Intricate kaleidoscopic designs that look incomprehensible are merely rhythmic layers of threads in colors or shapes laid down in a pre-planned order. And you can make such a masterpiece yourself, with any desire.
12:20 - 12:30
Ending
Time to share the result and emotions!
