Try making original handkerchiefs and shawls with dye made from the "Tree of Happiness"

You can make yellow handkerchiefs and shawls with dye from the Fukugi tree, known as the "Tree of Happiness" on Amami Oshima. Your original shawl, the only one of its kind in the world, will become a special keepsake.
You can bring your completed work back with you on the same day. The handkerchiefs and shawls are provided.

[Tradistional Kusaki-zome Dyeing Experience in Amaminosato]

In this activity, you will create your own original yellow handkerchief using the dye from "Fukugi" trees, which grow near the coast of the southern islands. Fukugi is also known as the "Tree of Happiness." This experience also serves as an opportunity to learn about the traditional hand-binding dyeing method used before the invention of the Oshima Tsumugi weaving looms. The finished handkerchief can be taken home on the same day. We will provide the handkerchief. This experience is suitable for individuals aged 5 and above.
