--------------------
It is a rare and precious opportunity to learn directly from a Japanese washi artist
who continues the centuries-old craft with her own hands.
Experience the serene process of papermaking —
from preparing kōzo (paper mulberry) fibers to hand-scooping the paper,
guided gently by the artist herself.
Feel the rhythm of water and fiber,
and discover the quiet beauty of this traditional craft.
Create two sheets of delicate A4-size washi, which can be collected later
at Wonder Journal once dried.

Discover the beauty of Japanese papermaking
Washi, Japan’s traditional handmade paper, has been crafted for more than 1,300 years.
From cultivating kōzo (paper mulberry), stripping and soaking its bark, to gently scooping the fibers in water —
this process connects human hands with the rhythm of nature.
