Review for: Mizuhiki-style Money Envelope

It was such a memorable and fun experience. Our teacher, Yuko, was very hands on in teaching us and guided us along the way. She had a translation device that instantly translates what she’s saying and we had an easy time understanding each other. She was a very lovely teacher and we had a great time overall. (P.S. the place is a bit far from the station and is about 15min walking so be sure to arrive early.)

Yet another amazing experience, I liked this workshop even more! I really recommend the clasp purse workshop if you're a fan of traditional Japanese fabrics, as you'll be able to choose the one you want for your project (and for the bonus tiny pouch). Instructions were clear and the materials prepared were perfect to carry out the steps. I'm very happy with the result and I will use what I learned to try making more clasp purses at home!

What a fun and unique activity. You walk away with a useful and unique souvenir! The host is so helpful and friendly! She explained everything in English and there are written instructions to help you follow along. We were jetlagged and did this as soon as we landed, no problem following and it didn't take hours! There are lots of fabrics to choose from to truelly make it your own and something you will love! Highly recommended!

I chose this because my child enjoys making and experiencing things. I made one card wallet and one coin wallet. The teacher kindly explained things and made me feel comfortable. The leather stickers used on the inside of the wallet make it perfect. It was nice to make a souvenir myself. I will use it beautifully~
