[Let's play handmade mini shamisen! Traditional music experience workshop] TOKYO SHAMI EXPERIENCE was newly launched last year as a spot where you can enjoy the shamisen more easily and fun!

You can take the instruments you made home and play them at home. Musical instrument workshops that have been featured on TV, magazines, and on the Web. It is perfect for those who want to start a new instrument that people around them do not do much, or those who are interested in Japanese musical instruments but are unable to take a step because of the high threshold.

Please enjoy the special experience that can enter the world of deep Japanese! * Price with musical instrument

Jizo Wood Carving Experience in Kawagoe

You will finish a small Jizo, one of the most popular Japanese Buddhist statue sculptures, by wood carving. It is easy even for beginners as you only have to finish a half-finished piece up to rough carving. The instructor, who has 24 years of experience as an artist, will kindly and carefully instruct you how to hold and use a carving knife. There are two types of Jizo, a small one and a slightly larger one, but you can prepare your favorite one upon prior consultation if you wish.
