Daruma Painting Workshop with Instructor in Tokyo Shinjuku

Daruma dolls are symbols of perseverance, luck, goals, and new beginnings in Japanese culture. Traditionally, people make a wish while painting one eye, then paint the second eye once their wish comes true. During the workshop, freely design your Daruma using your favorite colors, patterns, names, wishes, or artistic ideas to create a completely one-of-a-kind piece. The experience takes place in a stylish creative space in Shinjuku, surrounded by one of Tokyo’s most exciting and energetic neighborhoods. No previous art experience is required, making this activity perfect for beginners, couples, families, solo travelers, and anyone looking for a memorable cultural experience in Tokyo. At the end of the workshop, take your handmade Daruma home as a special souvenir and memory of your Japan trip.
