We are currently recruiting participants! Sunago is a traditional technique that has been passed down in Japan for 1,000 years, in which powdered gold leaf is sprinkled on paper, strips of paper, colored paper, fusuma paper, etc. The name comes from the fact that the fine grains of foil applied to the screen look like sand. This time, we will try our hand at decorating a fan with gold and silver foil. You can take home the fan you tried out.

In order to attract foreign customers, it has become difficult to attract them with the experience services that have been commonplace in the past. Foreigners are looking for an authentic Japanese cultural experience, not a childish version of Japanese culture. Our company provides services with the motto of building strong relationships of trust with Japanese culture providers and communicating and spreading their activities to people around the world. This time, with the cooperation of Kikuchi Fusuma Paper Factory Co., Ltd., we will be holding a hands-on experience session for making patterns on fans, which will be highly satisfying even for foreign customers. This is a valuable experience session that you won’t find anywhere else, so please come and join us. (Gorgeous gold and silver sandwork)
