Why not paint papier-mâché, a lucky charm, with an original design at Asakusa's popular Japanese culture experience cafe? Papier-mâché is a piece of paper made from a frame made of wood or other materials and covered with Japanese paper. It originally originated in China, but is said to have come to Japan during the Heian period. They come in many shapes, but many are in the shape of animals, and they have come to be valued as lucky charms. First, choose the plain body of your choice. Once you have decided on the body, use your imagination and color your ideas with paint. The staff will support you, so even beginners can enjoy creating. Papier mache is hollow and very light, so it is very popular as a souvenir from travel. [Selectable Body Types] ▶Daruma The ``Daruma'' has been valued as a talisman and auspicious item since ancient times because of its rounded shape, which means that it can get back up again and again even if it falls down. Papier-mâché daruma dolls have the meaning of warding off evil spirits, family harmony, and having wishes come true, so they are used for general wishes such as prosperous business and sure victory. ▶Maneki Neko Cats were used as lucky charms for sericulture in ancient times, as they exterminated rats that ate crops and silkworms, but after sericulture declined, they became a lucky charm for business prosperity. There is a theory that beckoning cats were originally made using a pottery method called Imado ware, which was produced around Imado Town in Asakusa. *Contains opinions▶ Fox masks Fox masks are used in Nohgaku (general term for Noh and Kyogen) and Kagura (dances and songs performed to worship gods). At Inari shrines, they are often considered to be auspicious objects, as if they are enshrined as messengers of the gods. Additionally, the fox mask is said to bring blessings such as a rich harvest, prosperous business, and safety for the family. *Depending on stock availability, we may not be able to provide the body you desire.
Had a great time painting a daruma! It was very strait-forward and they offered many different options (watercolors, acrylics, markers, ect). Location is nice too right by Asakusa.

体験料3500円に見合わない。机の上に紙とスタンプ、絵の具、クレヨンなどの用意がされていましたが、説明はわかりきったことをほんの10秒程度。どんなやり方があるか例を聞くと「うちのインスタ見て下さい」と。インスタを見ると扇子の投稿は1〜2のみ。実物の見本もありましたが、子供さんのお絵描き程度のものです。スタンプは種類も少なくスタンプ台の色は出ず、筆はバサバサ、扇子の下に当てるゴム台もサイズが全く合っておらず小さくて、段ができてスタンプもうまく押せませんでした。道具は汚れていて扇子にも付着してしまい残念としか言いようがない体験でした。
