Beat the heat this summer with your own personally customized uchiwa.
What to expect
Uchiwa traditional Japanese hand fans are a staple of Japanese summers from festivals to sports matches, and this July, WeLearn is hosting a workshop where you can decorate your own fan.
These casual arts and craft sessions will provide everything you need to decorate your fans, and anyone is welcome, no matter your artistic prowess. Decorate your uchiwa in any way you like, take it home, and show it off at your next matsuri or fireworks festival. English support is available.
