Welcome the new year with a design all your own.

This modern shimenawa-making class teaches you how to create a shimenawa by combining materials that symbolize the New Year such as pine, nandina, and rice ears with a variety of dried and natural materials.

On the day of the class, you’ll be free to choose your favorite items from a wide selection of materials. By observing the colors, textures, and shapes of the materials, you’ll discover a combination that reflects your personal style and craft a shimenawa that’s one of a kind.

Whether you keep it simple or layer materials boldly for a more elaborate look, the joy of this workshop lies in how the impression changes dramatically depending on the materials you choose and how you arrange them. The instructor will carefully guide you through material selection, balance, and composition, so even beginners can enjoy the experience with ease.

Add a touch of modern sensibility and your own personal style to this traditional New Year’s decoration. As the year comes to a close, why not create a special shimenawa to welcome the new year?
