This is an experience tour where you can make an arrangement using MOKUKA, a wooden flower made by a long-established lumber store in Yamagata City. MOKUKA is a unique item that allows you to feel the beauty and warmth of the wood grain. It is an aging wood flower that changes to a beautiful color over time. It is also patented! This is an experience where you can make a box arrangement using such a wood flower MOKUKA. The staff will carefully explain and support you as you proceed, so even those who are not confident can rest assured. You can take the arrangement home and enjoy the memories of the experience that will never fade and MOKUKA at home! 1. Before the experience starts, we will guide you to the sawmill. (10 minutes) You can enjoy the strength and beauty of the wood and the warmth of the wood. 2. Actually create the arrangement. (80 minutes) Let's arrange it with all our hearts while feeling the warmth of the wood using MOKUKA! The size of the box will be 120mm x 120mm. You can also take a photo with the flowers you made. *If you have time left, you can actually experience making MOKUKA.
とっても楽しかったです。イメージを固めずに始めましたが、実際に製作している職人さんが講師についてくれて、ウッドフラワーであるモクカのお話をしてくれたり、花をどうレイアウトするか迷っても私の希望を尊重しながらアドバイスしてくれるので素人の私でも立派な作品に仕上がりました。 やってみて驚きましたが、モクカとドライフラワーを贅沢に使わせてもらえるので本当に豪華な作品に仕上がりました。モクカは全て山形県産の木を使っているというお話しを聞いてとても素敵だと思いました。 工房内がとても可愛くて木の香りが心地よく、たくさんのお花に囲まれて癒されながら体験しました。早速玄関に飾りましたが、ほんのり木のいい香りがして立ち止まって眺めています。

Is it really made from tree bark?! Let's make beautiful tassels using Shinamokko, each one with a different expression! ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ The Japanese linden tree is an indispensable part of the lives of the people of the Sekigawa area of the Atsumi region. After stripping the bark from the tree, Uetsu Shina cloth is made entirely by hand, going through 22 processes over 365 days. The experience of using this precious Shina is unique to this area. Because each strand is a natural fiber with a different expression, it can be made into unique and attractive charms and earrings. It is also nice that the venue is the footbath cafe Chitto Moche, within walking distance of the inn at Atsumi Onsen. After making it, enjoy a relaxing tea time. Of course, the Shinamokko tassels make a great souvenir from your trip.
