Origami: Traditional Japanese Paper Folding

Master the art of origami, literally "folding paper", to create intricate, cute and clever shapes!

Tanabata Decorations: Beautiful, Colourful Fukinagashi

Tanabata is a special day of the Japanese lunar calendar which celebrates the annual coming together of two wandering stars, (Orihime and Hikoboshi) on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month. This is normally considered as a romantic day and a day where your wishes can come true. The largest of the festivals in Japan is held in Sendai, Tohoku area. You can experience traditional Tanabata decoration making and also message writing at our Tanabata workshop located in Genki Giving area! All messages will be delivered by Virgin Atlantic to Sendai Tanabata Festival. Now is the time to send a message of hope to these people to show them that they are not alone. Please make a wish for Japan!

Calligraphy: The Art of Japanese Writing

Have a go at shodo, that's traditional Japanese calligraphy, and learn a Japanese kanji or two as you go.
