Meet your instructor and begin your workshop. Learn about the art of REBONSAI™, a modern art form created from real bonsai trees that have been carefully preserved and redesigned. Unlike traditional bonsai, it requires no watering or maintenance, allowing you to enjoy its beauty for years as an interior art piece. Design and customize a real preserved bonsai artwork using colorful materials and artistic techniques. Freely choose colors and create your own unique REBONSAI™ piece. The workshop is beginner-friendly, and no previous art experience is required. Staff will support you step by step throughout the experience. Take your finished artwork home on the same day.

Daruma dolls are symbols of perseverance, luck, goals, and new beginnings in Japanese culture. Traditionally, people make a wish while painting one eye, then paint the second eye once the wish comes true. During the workshop, freely design your Daruma using your favorite colors, patterns, names, wishes, or artistic ideas to create a completely one-of-a-kind piece. The experience takes place in a stylish and relaxing creative space in Chiba, offering a unique opportunity to experience Japanese culture through art. No previous art experience is required, making this activity perfect for beginners, couples, families, solo travelers, and anyone looking for a memorable cultural experience in Japan. At the end of the workshop, take your handmade Daruma home as a special souvenir and memory of your Japan trip.
