Plan description

Yaeyama Minsa is a cotton, plain-woven fabric produced in Ishigaki City and Taketomi Town. Its greatest feature is the five and four kasuri patterns, which embody the sentiment "Forever (five) in the world (four) and forever..." Yaeyama Minsa weaving goes through numerous processes to create a single piece of fabric, but just as in the past, many of these processes are carried out by hand with great care. At the Minsa Craft Museum, you can actually experience weaving, one of the processes in Yaeyama Minsa weaving. Instructors will provide direct and thorough instruction, so even first-timers can enjoy the experience with peace of mind. *For International Customers* Works created during the weaving experience require time for finishing and cannot be picked up on the same day. Only those who can pick up their work approximately two days later or later, or who have a shipping address within Japan, are eligible to participate in the weaving experience. We appreciate your understanding.

[Course A★Coaster making]

The coaster course takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Please feel free to use it during your free time. We have three looms available. Therefore, please note that if there are three or more people participating, they will have to take turns.
