Why not try writing characters with all your heart and soul using a large brush held in both hands, like the ones you only see on TV and in magazines? The characters you create as you run around barefoot on a piece of paper bigger than a tatami mat will be a lifelong memory! The instructor, calligrapher Mikami, has a father and mother who are also calligraphers, and has been familiar with calligraphy since childhood. Mikami is very creative and energetic. Not satisfied with ordinary calligraphy paper, he runs around freely on the large calligraphy paper with a large brush held in both hands, and the characters he creates with his whole body are soon becoming a specialty of Naganuma Town. He also performs at Naganuma Town's summer festival and sunset market, and sometimes collaborates with local musicians. This program was created not only to show people this fun, but also to let them experience it. Participants are first surprised by the weight of the brush filled with ink, and are very satisfied with the characters they write with all their heart, sweating. The written characters take time to dry, and there are limitations on where you can hang them. You may only be asked to take a photo in front of the work. If you would like to take the work home with you, please contact us in advance, although we may not be able to accommodate your request.

The shop is always full of fresh flowers. When you order a bouquet, they will ask you, "Who is this for?" and arrange it to suit the recipient and the image of the sender. As they fell in love with the flowers of Naganuma, they have built strong relationships with local flower farmers. There are many flowers that are only grown in Naganuma. In the box flower making experience, you can freely arrange seasonal flowers in the specially prepared box, and learn the tricks of flower arranging and the rules for arranging beautifully.

[Regional common coupons (electronic only) are available! ] It is an experience to make a traditional craft "Chinkoro" handed down in Tokamachi. [What is “Chinkoro”? 】Every Tokamachi citizen has made “Chinkoro”, a small colorful doll made of rice flour. The word chinkoro means “puppy” and is often made in the shape of a puppy or the Chinese zodiac of the year. It is made around January every year and displayed in the house, but because it is made of rice flour paste, it cracks and breaks in a few weeks. It is said that the more broken pieces there are, the better the luck. The culture of making chinkoro is said to have started in the Edo period, but the original origin is not well understood. [What you can do in this experience] In this program, you will make Tokamachi's traditional craft Chinkoro while being taught by a local Chinkoro craftsman. You can make your own original penis, such as anime characters, mascots, animals, etc., regardless of the traditional puppy or zodiac. It is an experience that everyone can enjoy regardless of age or gender. Please make sure to make a lucky charm, Chinkoro, as a souvenir. *Only Japanese and English are supported.
