SUMMARY:Mizuhiki: Japanese Decorative Knots – Memento Mori Jewelry
DESCRIPTION:In Japan\, the knot on an envelope says what words cannot. \nMizuhiki are fine cords made of twisted washi paper\, tied into knots that decorate gifts and envelopes for life’s turning points. They also appear at funerals and memorial services: black-and-white or silver knots adorn the condolence envelopes offered to the bereaved. Some knots are tied so that they can never be undone. On a condolence envelope\, this carries the wish that such sorrow will never be repeated; at a wedding\, the same knot stands for a bond that lasts. \nIn this workshop\, mizuhiki instructor Satoi Adams\, who has taught in Boston\, New York\, and Tokyo since 2018\, guides you through the basic knots and their meanings. You will make your own mizuhiki accessory to take home. \nNo experience necessary\nAll materials included\nLimited to 12 participants\nAdmission ticket required (sold separately) \nThis workshop is part of Memento Mori in NYC: The Art of Japanese Life and Death\, November 5–6 at RESOBOX. For the full program\, please visit the official website: mementomori-nyc.com \n\n\n$50 / person \nAll materials included · Admission ticket sold separately \nAt checkout\, select “November 5th at 5 pm (Memento Mori festival)” \n\nReserve Your Spot \n\nPLEASE NOTE: You can register on the day until the workshop starts\, while seats last.

Choose “I already have an admission ticket” when booking: $150 with hair & makeup\, or $20 for the portrait only.

SUMMARY:Suminagashi: An Art of Irreplaceable Moments
DESCRIPTION:Discover the timeless beauty of Suminagashi(墨流し)\, the ancient Japanese art of marbling. Originating in Japan more than 800 years ago\, Suminagashi literally means “floating ink.” This elegant technique was first enjoyed in the Heian period (794–1185) as a courtly pastime\, where artists and nobles would marvel at the delicate\, ever-changing patterns created on water. \nIn this class\, you will learn how to gently drop ink onto the surface of water and guide the ripples with your breath\, brushes\, or even the subtlest movements of air. The resulting designs are then transferred onto washi paper and even onto fabric items such as handkerchiefs\, creating one-of-a-kind works of art. \nBecause the process is simple\, the class is fun for a variety of ages and skill levels. Each print captures a fleeting moment\, never to be repeated\, embodying the Japanese aesthetic of impermanence and beauty in transience. Children aged 8 and above are also welcome to participate. \nWhether you are interested in traditional arts\, meditation through creative practice\, or simply wish to explore a new form of expression\, this class offers a unique opportunity to connect with history while creating your own modern interpretations of this ancient craft.

SUMMARY:Sweets for Every Season: Nerikiri Wagashi Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The April 5th workshop will be taught by Yuki Sakura\, who we’re delighted to welcome to RESOBOX! \nWagashi\, or Japanese confections\, boast a rich history spanning hundreds of years. Among the most exquisite are nerikiri\, hand-sculpted sweets in various flavors and styles\, reflecting nature’s beauty and often modeled on seasonal scenes. These edible works of art are famous worldwide and accessible to everyone\, not just masters. \nOur classes teach traditional techniques for creating these beautiful confections\, from shaping the dough to adding intricate details. Guided by our instructors\, you’ll gain a deep appreciation for this ancient art form. \n\nIn this session\, you will create three different cherry blossom (桜) designs—an iconic symbol of spring in Japan. Through shaping petals\, layering colors\, and capturing the softness of the season\, you will bring springtime to life with your own hands.\nYou will learn the characteristics of Nerikiri\, its ingredients\, and traditional techniques while crafting your own original designs. This workshop offers more than the joy of tasting Wagashi; it gives you the experience of creating edible art\, engaging your senses of sight\, touch\, and taste. Simple hand movements— pressing\, pinching\, layering — become acts of sculpture and painting\, turning the creative process itself into an artistic experience. Through this hands-on practice\, you will discover the unique beauty of Japanese food culture.\nAt the end of the class\, you’ll take home the Nerikiri you lovingly crafted yourself. We hope you’ll share them with your family and friends—revisiting the stories and moments from the workshop as you admire and enjoy the sweets you created with your own hands.\n\n  \nWhat Makes Us Different? \nHands-on experience: All the ingredients and materials are prepared\, and containers for taking them home are provided. You only need to walk into the classroom and leave with four beautiful wagashi. \nPersonal attention: We believe in providing personalized attention to each of our students\, with our instructors offering individualized guidance and support. \nCommunity atmosphere: Cooking is always more fun with friends! Our classes offer a warm and welcoming environment where you can connect with other sweet-making enthusiasts and share your love for Nerikiri. \n \n

SUMMARY:Inami Woodcarving — A 250-Year Living Tradition\, with Master Nambu Hakuun III
DESCRIPTION:Originating in Toyama Prefecture\, Inami woodcarving (井波彫刻) developed in the Edo period during the restoration of the local Zuisen-ji Temple and flourished alongside temple carpentry and the tradition of ranma (transom) carving. Distinguished by extraordinary depth\, precision\, and spiritual artistry\, this 250-year tradition has endured despite the pressures of rapid modernization. Today\, Inami’s artisans apply their mastery\, shaped through a rigorous five-year live-in apprenticeship\,to classical temple work as well as traditional and contemporary commissions. \nThis program begins at 3:00 PM with a screening of the 60-minute documentary Voices in the Grain: Inami Woodcarving\, produced by Poiesis in collaboration with the craftsmen community in Toyama. The film offers a rare and intimate portrait of the carvers\, their history\, and the lived philosophy behind the craft. \nFollowing the screening\, Master Carver Nambu Hakuun III\, one of Inami’s foremost artisans\, will introduce the history of the craft and the lineage of his own workshop\, highlighting major works he has created across Japan. He will then guide the audience through each stage of the carving process\, from sketching on washi paper to rough carving and detailed finishing\, and present his newly created work\, Bridge Between Japan and the U.S.\, which intertwines Japanese and American motifs as a gesture of cultural connection. \nThe demonstration portion will be interactive\, offering attendees the rare opportunity to try carving by hand under the master’s guidance and to handle carving tools used in the craft. \nThe event concludes with an open Q&A\, inviting participants to engage directly with the artist and reflect on the future of this living tradition.

SUMMARY:The Seven Gods
DESCRIPTION:What is the 「The Seven Gods」??… \n「The Seven Gods 」is「 Shichifukujin（The Seven Lucky Gods)」 \nShichifukujin are one of Japan’s most cherished cultural symbols\, representing seven deities who bring happiness and fortune to everyday life. The name itself reflects their nature: “Shichi” means seven\, “Fuku” means lucky\, and “Jin” means gods. \nLooking into their history\, although Shichifukujin are widely revered in Japan\, only one of them—Ebisu—actually originates from Japanese mythology. The remaining six deities have roots in India and China\, reflecting Japan’s unique culture of adopting and integrating elements from various traditions. \nA cultural practice known as Shichifukujin Meguri (Seven Lucky Gods Pilgrimage) also exists in Japan. This tradition\, typically observed from January 1st to 7th\, involves visiting shrines and temples dedicated to each of Shichifukujin to receive their blessings for the new year. \nIn this performance\, Shichifukujin wear masks\, symbolizing their divine personas. However\, beneath these masks lie their true emotions—hidden truths that play a crucial role in driving the story forward. \n\nSynopsis \nThe story takes place at a shrine on New Year’s Day. Shichifukujin have gathered to grant people’s wishes. As worshippers take turns offering their prayers\, a young girl suddenly bursts in. \n“Please save my mother—” \nHer wish concerns a human life. However\, the gods are bound by a sacred law: they must not interfere with human fate. Breaking this rule is forbidden. \nYet\, despite being gods\, they have emotions. Doubt creeps into their hearts—should they uphold the law\, or defy it? As the debate unfolds\, each god is forced to confront their own beliefs and make a choice. \nThen comes the moment of decision— \nAs gods and as beings with emotions\, what choice will they make? \n  \n※At the beginning of the performance\, there will be an opportunity to experience a traditional Japanese custom. Up to five audience members can participate on a first-come\, first-served basis. Participation is entirely optional\, so if you are interested\, please feel free to let us know at the reception desk. \n————- \nThe following items\, used during the performance\, are available for purchase at the venue. \n  \n\nTenugui (Japanese hand towel) featuring the design used in the performance\nFuroshiki (wrapping cloth) featuring the design used in the performance\nDrinks (including Japanese green tea)\nLight snacks (edamame\, dorayaki)\n\n  \nThese items will help you experience the atmosphere of the performance even more! \n※The available payment methods are: Cash\, Venmo\, Zelle \n  \n  \n \nCreative/Production \nDirector/Choreographer: Tamaki Horibe \nAssistant Director: Ryoka Matsumoto \nAssistant Director/Choreographer: Fuka Kojima \nChoreographer: Tomoe Tatewaki \nVocal Line Composer: Liana Kurogi \nCostume Designer: Miu Koike \nLogo Designer: Yuka Matsumoto \nFlyer Designer: Ai Tsujimoto \nProduced by: Edamovement Lab \nCollaborating Partner: wuhao newyork Tenugui Art \nOfficial Sponsor: Brooklyn Ball Factory \nHosted by: RESOBOX

SUMMARY:Kazari Maki Zushi (Decorative sushi) Making Workshop - Snake & Dragon Sushi
DESCRIPTION:Get funky with your cooking by making these adorable and vibrant snake and dragon sushi! Impress your friends with what you learn about this Kazari Maki-Zushi class! These two kinds of character sushi for this class are made with natural ingredients (as listed below) that taste great\, just like regular sushi! By manipulating the natural colors of each ingredient\, you can design an interesting and delicious sushi piece. The cute designs on these colorful sushi can be made easily\, so no sushi-making experience is required and it’s a good way to impress your friends at any party! \nIngredients\nDragon roll: \n– Seaweed\n– Sushi rice\n– Avocado\n– Cucumber\n– Tobiko\n– Kanikama\n– Salmon\n– Radish sprouts\n– Sesame seeds\n– Red pepper \nSnake: \n– Seaweed\n– Sushi rice\n– Seaweed powder\n– Mayonnaise\n– Beet powder \n\nWhat is Kazari Maki-Zushi?\nKazari Maki-Zushi is a patterned or decorative sushi that is derived from the several sushi techniques such as Saiku sushi and Futomaki sushi. It is undoubtedly sushi\, but the appearance and design of each roll are filled with endless possibilities! A Kazari Maki-Zushi’s design can be anything – flowers\, fruit\, animals\, words and even logos! Whatever your creativeness allows\, Kazari Maki-Zushi can be almost anything. Using various natural colors of ingredients you see every day\, Kazari Maki-Zushi is a fun way to play around with sushi designs. This food/art form has been developed for over 150 years\, and still\, new ideas are created everyday in Japan. And it’s even a great way to show off your artistic skills at parties or potlucks! \nAlthough it looks difficult\, this decorative sushi is very simple and easy to make! No prior experience is necessary as it involves a different process than creating regular sushi. Making Kazari Maki-Zushi is much like building with Legos\, where each piece is stacked to make a picture!  \nKazari Maki-Sushi represents an important unique aspect in Japanese food –  not only in taste\, but also in the beautiful visual appearance that serves to please those who enjoy it. Making Kazari Maki-Zushi is also a great way to enjoy company\, whether it be friends or family and is especially popular with kids! Even if your homemade Kazari Maki-Zushi isn’t well-prepared\, the process of making and seeing your finished pieces on the dining table creates joy for all who see (and eat!) it. \nFor more workshops in this series\, visit our Japanese Cooking Workshop and Kazari Maki-Zushi Workshop Series page.
