REPORT
We held an outdoor "Papermaking Experience Workshop" and managed to complete it safely!
Unfortunately it rained on the first day, the 2nd, and the last day, the 7th, but on the other days
During the day, the temperature rose to over 20°C and the hot sun shone brightly!
Stand by so you can alternate between white and black washi paper.
During Golden Week, we spoke to tourists passing by the museum.
The museum had been attracting 500 to 600 visitors every day,
The workshop involved putting our hands in a pool filled with water, and reservations were not required.
Perhaps the hurdles were high, but there were fewer customers than expected.
I also felt it was difficult to grasp.
On the other hand, there were people from overseas who looked at the exhibition with great interest.
Besides the children pestering their parents to let them do it, there were also people from a paper-making town that has been designated an intangible cultural property.
There were many groups who came and enjoyed themselves.
This time, about 10 students from the art club at Karuizawa High School took turns volunteering every day.
They really made the workshop a success, and it was a great encouragement for us staff!
Thank you to Mr. O, the art club advisor, for your cooperation.
In addition, he was in charge of coming up with the idea for the papermaking experience and putting it into practice.
We would like to thank our staff member T, who gave us guidance on how to liven up the event, and the person who made the water-absorbing machine by hand.
I would also like to thank M.
