What You’ll Experience

At the Rimpa Sumie Heritage Institute, Tomoko Sase introduces nihon-ga painting with traditional materials. Work from a motif and build up color on prepared metallic-leaf paper.

The single-session plan includes a painting to take home. Applying the gold or silver leaf yourself is a paid option.

Wabunka lists an English-speaking host. This is distinct from the institute’s multi-session course.

Hareto’s Take

The Hareto Score of 84 is a provisional editorial score based on listing information, not a firsthand inspection. Reserve a generous block of time. Ask which materials and optional processes your booking includes. This is a useful choice for travelers who want to make something and learn how the materials influence it.
