In this session, you will be able to design your own Manekineko using materials such as paints, washi (traditional Japanese paper), and origami.

Art supplies, 1 Manekineko

Suitable for
Suitable for adults, and kids.
An adult must accompany any attending kids. The adult may observe at the class for free.

Here's a little story behind our Maneki Neko:

A few years ago, our owner, Yukino, stumbled upon these charming figurines at a local antique fair in Tokyo and instantly fell in love with their clean and captivating design. After an extensive four-month search, we discovered that the mold for this Maneki Neko was created a century ago and had been recently rediscovered. This led to the revival of crafting these unique and cherished Maneki Neko figurines once again.
