[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.
