Tsuchiyu Onsen Kokeshi Painting
Experience learning traditional kokeshi painting from craftsmen in Tsuchiyu Onsen and creating your own original work
Tsuchiyu Onsen, a hidden retreat in Fukushima City, is the birthplace of Tsuchiyu-style Kokeshi, one of the Three Great Kokeshi of Tohoku. In the workshop located in the hot spring town, you can experience kokeshi painting by adding your own unique expression to plain wood kokeshi turned on a lathe. Craftsmen will patiently teach you painting techniques, so even beginners can feel confident. You can freely enjoy traditional patterns or create original designs, and take home a one-of-a-kind kokeshi as a souvenir. After your experience, you can soak in the hot spring and spend leisurely time at a foot bath cafe.
