Itinerary
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to make a traditional Japanese shimenawa (sacred rope) using fragrant lemongrass. Guided by an instructor, you’ll discover the history and meaning behind shimenawa while twisting and shaping the lemongrass into a beautiful rope. Once the base is complete, you’ll add your own creative touch with herbs and decorations, designing a piece that can be as simple or colorful as you like. At the end, you can take your handmade shimenawa home as a unique keepsake of your experience.
