Hana Mikoshi workshops

Take part in bringing a sakura-inspired washi paper installation to life in the museum!
For hundreds of years, local families, craftspeople, and intergenerational groups in Mino, a town in Gifu, Japan, famous for the production of washi paper, have come together to create huge Hana Mikoshi or ‘flower shrines’ for the Mino Matsuri festival.
Throughout August, join workshops at V&A South Kensington to decorate bamboo with 50,000 sakura-inspired Mino washi paper flowers, to re-create the drama of the Hana Mikoshi.
The shrine will be adapted into a sculptural seating installation for the V&A’s Daylit Gallery by London-based Hayatsu Architects. See your contribution to the dazzling display this September, as part of the London Design Festival.

Suitable for ages 6+

The workshop is part of the extended programme for the installation Hana Mikoshi at Room 64b, The Simon Sainsbury Gallery. The installation is part of London Design Festival at the V&A South Kensington.
