Finished all the jobs as a tour guide this spring, I'm having an experience for making “Tsumami Kanzashi”, which is one of traditional craftworks originated in the 17th-18th century , as just a visitor hanging around Sumida City in Tokyo.
Tsumami means picking up small fabrics with tools and fingers. Kanzashi is the entire name of hair accessories.
First, I chose 5 favorit fabrics in 3 square centimeters and made petals by folding each of them to triangles.
Then arranged them according to my favorit color order on the board glued in advance.
After each petal absorbed glue enough, put each petal on to an accessory-shaped stand carefully.
It was a lot of fun! Choosing pretty fabrics excited me.
My friend took me such a fun workshop at an old Kanzashi Craftshop named Kanzashi Sugino in Sumida.
After the workshop she introduced nice photo spots!
Enjoyed a peaceful and beautiful day, thanks a lot, my friend!
