ORINIGIRI Workshop 11: Learn About Famous Japanese Fairy Tale ”Momotaro (Peach Boy)” and Make Your Own ORINIGIRI!
Have you ever seen or heard any Japanese fairy tales? Many of us Japanese have been brought up by watching them on TV programs when we were young. Grimm fairy tales might be similar in that every story has a moral or lesson. This time, we would like to introduce the lessons of Japanese fairy tales by focusing on Japan’s most famous and popular “Momotaro (Peach Boy)” fairy tale. Onigiri (rice balls) often appeared in Japanese fairy tales, and played a role in expressing a simple life at the time. We hope that the collaboration between ORINIGIRI, a modern type of new art from Japan, and the traditional Japanese fairy tale will trigger your interest in Japanese culture. Let’s reproduce a scene of the drama with ORINIGIRI!
In this workshop, you will
- Learn about the fairy tale “Momotaro” and its lessons
- Make a “Momotaro” ORINIGIRI (Origami & Rice balls)
- Take a pictures of your creation
What is “ORINIGIRI?”
ORINIGIRI is a new type of art (and way of eating!) that combines the fun features of “Origami” and “Onigiri (Rice balls).” It’s easy to make and guests who participate in this workshop can enjoy the great and interesting onigiri experience!
