[Akita, Noshiro, Woodworking Experience] Experience the craftsmanship of a craftsman in the city of wood, "Noshiro"! Kumiko crafting experience

Why not try making "Kumiko" in Noshiro, the city of wood? Noshiro City, Akita Prefecture, is a town at the mouth of the Yoneshiro River, and has a convenient port for transporting felled Akita cedar. Lumber is exported domestically and overseas, and it was called "the No. 1 city of wood in the Orient". Even now, there are many wood-related companies in the city. We will assemble wooden "Kumiko parts" from scratch. There is some fine work, but the work of assembling them together is addictive! The finishing work using a file allows you to feel the pleasant scent of wood. *Wood material: Hiba You can choose from two types of "strap" with a diameter of about 5.6 cm and "coaster" with a diameter of about 10 cm (additional 500 yen). (If you would like a coaster, please select "Change to coaster" as an option) *Includes a souvenir of mineral water (500ml plastic bottle) collected from the World Natural Heritage site "Shirakami-Sanchi" and Noshiro's famous sweets. [About the experience venue] If the experience is held at a facility within the city, it will be located within walking distance (about 5 minutes) or inside the tourist information center.

The kumiko parts are assembled from scratch to create a shape. Kumiko crafts are assembled by hand by craftsmen, and each shape (pattern) of kumiko crafts has a meaning.

Choose the length of string you like and wear it on your bag or as a necklace, however you like!

Of course, you can buy some for yourself, but why not also buy some handmade Kumiko as a souvenir?
