Review for: Make a Clasp Purse Using Traditional Japanese Fabric

This is so wonderful! I saw it on TikTok and made a reservation on Klook, and it didn't disappoint. It was a lot of fun to make a coin purse with a mini keychain! I was a little nervous because I'm not good at handicrafts, but the teacher's explanation was very easy to understand. It was especially helpful for us who can't speak Japanese! It was fun to choose my own cloth and paste it all with glue!

it was such an amazing experience. It's only one group at a time during the time slot you boom, so it makes for such an beautiful and intimate experience with whomever you are with. Did this with my brother, he made a wallet and I made an eyeglasses case

Review for: Mizuhiki Bookmark

I had a fun experience with the bookmark making workshop. I was alone so it was like a private class. I managed to make 4 bookmarks in the hour - making the knots were challenging but doable with the teacher’s guidance.

What a fun experience! My daughter and I were able to enjoy making our unique glass cases and coin purses, so much so that I made an extra one to give as a gift! The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Overall, it was worth the money, time and the 10ish minute walk from the train station.
