Japanese Cultural Experience: Tatami Workshops
It’s a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a creative activity together while gaining a deeper appreciation for Tatami, the traditional Japanese cultural craft. This experience can also spark an interest in craftsmanship and the joy of creating something with your own hands. The natural scent of igusa, the main material used in tatami mats, is known for its calming and relaxing properties. This workshop is simple and fun for everyone.
