"Yaeyama Minsa" is a textile made of cotton, plain weave, and produced in Ishigaki City and Taketomi Town. The biggest feature is that the five and four kasuri patterns embody the idea of ​​``Forever and ever, until the end of the five (five) worlds (four).'' Yaeyama Minsa-ori goes through many processes to create a single piece of fabric, but just like in the past, many of these processes are done by hand with great care. At the Minsa Crafts Museum, customers can actually experience ``weaving'', one of the processes of Yaeyama Minsa weaving, for themselves. Our instructors will provide direct and detailed guidance, so even beginners can enjoy the experience with confidence.

This is our recommended plan where you can create the perfect lipstick for yourself after receiving a professional personal color diagnosis and understanding the colors that suit you! The pair plan is very popular because you can listen to the diagnosis of your loved one next to you, so you can use it as a reference for future shopping and gifts. First, a personal color consultant will diagnose your base (yellow or blue) and four seasons (select in detail up to 1st and 2nd). After that, we will advise you on the lip color that suits you based on the diagnosis results. You can also ask questions about cosmetics and fashion within the time! After the diagnosis, you can make your own original lipstick from start to finish with your own hands. Mix freely from over 25 colors. You can also choose the scent and lipstick case. It is Japan's first specialty store for personal color diagnosis x lipstick production. In addition, it is supervised by the owner consultant who has a first-class cosmetics certification and a special cosmetics concierge, and all the instructors in charge of this plan are beauty professionals who are personal color consultants! You can make it with confidence even if it's your first time. It's also conveniently located just a minute's walk from Yotsubashi Station and a five-minute walk from Shinsaibashi Station. It's also close to popular tourist spots Dotonbori and Amemura. PARCO and Daimaru are also just a five-minute walk away, so you can make a shopping or beauty day in one go. It's also a great memory from your trip to Osaka. ★This plan includes a basic full personal color diagnosis for the four seasons, but you can also upgrade to a detailed personal color diagnosis (90 minutes) that will analyze, select, and suggest 12 and 16 types in more detail. Reservations before and after are also available, so please contact us in advance. *Additional fee: +5,500 yen per person ★If you would like to participate in a plan in English or if you would like to nominate an owner to supervise and manage the plan, an owner nomination fee will be required, so please add this as an option when making your reservation.
