Japanese Creations is a Japanese arts and crafts experience creator offering unique
Japanese crafts and courses. With all materials hand-selected in Japan to assure
authenticity, Japanese Creations shares traditional Japanese heritage through
treasured crafts.
Chirimen is the Japanese name for fabric with Shibo, or soft wrinkles, on the surface.
Traditionally used to create kimonos, this unique fabric is typically made of silk. Since
the 17 th century, the art of Chirimen has been used to transform small pieces of this
textured material into exquisite, hand-sewn pouches and ornaments.
The Japanese Creations Chirimen course has been designed by Nobuko Naito, a
renowned Japanese Chirimen master crafter, and includes all materials, detailed online
instructions and tools, including needles, thread and patchwork board, to create
beautiful keepsakes and meaningful gifts. The course includes 5 motifs: a makeup bag,
a pin cushion, a coin purse, a dove pouch and a stuffed bear. The course price is $275.

greeting cards or other modern-day crafts; as well as courses in the Etegami craft, a
colorful folk art consisting of Sumi ink drawings, Gansai paints and sentiments.
