Create your own Japanese lantern — a symbol of light, peace, and tradition.

In this guided, hands-on workshop, you’ll work side-by-side with a skilled Japanese artisan to craft a lantern in the traditional style.
You’ll learn not only how to construct it — using washi paper, bamboo, and natural materials — but also the deeper meanings behind each design and process.

Lanterns in Japan are more than just decoration. They are symbols of guidance, celebration, and spiritual light, seen in festivals, temples, and shrines.

With each brushstroke and fold, you'll gain insight into Japanese craftsmanship and culture — and walk away with a one-of-a-kind lantern made by you, to take home as a personal memory.

✨ No experience is needed. The process is simple and meditative, perfect for solo travelers, couples, or families looking to slow down and connect through creativity.
