Why not try painting an auspicious papier-mâché doll with your own original design at the popular Japanese culture experience cafe in Asakusa? Papier-mâché is a doll made by creating a frame out of wood and pasting washi paper on it. It originally originated in China, but is said to have been introduced to Japan during the Heian period. There are many different shapes, but many of them are in the shape of animals, and they have become treasured as lucky charms. First, choose your favorite plain body. Once you have decided on the body, use your imagination and paint your ideas with paint. Our staff will support you, so even beginners can have fun creating. Papier-mâché dolls are hollow and very light, so they are very popular as travel souvenirs. [Types of bodies to choose from] ▶ Daruma dolls "Daruma dolls" have a rounded shape and the fact that they "get up no matter how many times they fall down," and they have been treasured as talismans and lucky charms since ancient times. Papier-mâché daruma dolls are used for all kinds of wishes, such as warding off evil, making the family happy, and making wishes come true, so they are used for prosperity in business and winning. ▶Lucky catsLucky cats used to be a lucky charm for sericulture because they exterminate mice that eat crops and silkworms, but since sericulture has declined, they have come to be seen as a lucky charm for business prosperity. There is a theory that lucky cats were originally made using the "Imado ware" pottery technique that was produced around Imado-cho in Asakusa. *There are various theories*Depending on the stock situation, we may not be able to provide the body you want.
