Painting Workshop - 絵付け体験 -

◾️Workshop Programs

During the exhibition, two types of hands-on workshops will be conducted by the artisans of Kojima Shoten.
Participants will have the rare opportunity to experience the essence of Kyoto lantern-making—a craft passed down for over 200 years—through actual handwork guided by master artisans.

2. Painting Workshop

Under the supervision of a skilled artisan, participants will freely decorate completed lanterns with calligraphy or patterns using traditional brushes.
Through this process, they will experience the subtle nuances created by breath and brush pressure—and complete a one-of-a-kind lantern to take home.
Participation Fee: ¥12,000 (tax included)
Schedule:
Day 1: 3:30 PM / 5:30 PM (2 sessions, 6 participants per session)
Day 2: 2:00 PM / 5:00 PM (2 sessions, 6 participants per session)

Over these two special days, guests will have the rare opportunity to craft their very own lanterns under the personal guidance of artisans who have refined their skills over generations.

In addition to the workshops, visitors can also explore an interactive media exhibition featuring photographs, films, and written stories that reveal the artistry and process behind Kyoto lantern-making.
We warmly invite you to join us and experience the beauty of Japanese craftsmanship firsthand.
