This Edo-style lantern painting workshop in Tokyo takes place in a traditional studio with roots dating back to the Edo period. It offers a simple introduction to Japanese craftsmanship through a short, hands-on activity.

At the beginning, you learn about the history of Japanese lanterns and their role in daily life and festivals. A skilled artisan prepares the base design using your chosen characters, which can be kanji, hiragana or katakana.

You then paint your own lantern using a brush, following the outlines and adding colors from a selection provided. Two lantern shapes are available, and the process is guided step by step, making it accessible even without any painting experience.

The session is short but structured, and by the end you leave with your finished lantern, ready to take home. It’s a straightforward cultural activity that combines creativity with a traditional craft from Tokyo.
