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:Sumi-E Japanese Ink Painting Class
DESCRIPTION:  \n“If we study Japanese art\, we see a man who is undoubtedly wise\, philosophic and intelligent\, who spends his time doing what? …\nHe studies a single blade of grass.” \n-Vincent van Gogh \nSumi-e\, also called Suibokuga\, is the art of ink wash-painting. Characteristically\, it is an East Asian art\, and has been practiced there for well over a thousand years. Sumi-e depicts the spirit or essence of an object or scene rather than its outward appearance — and does so in the fewest possible strokes. Because of this simplicity\, the painter’s character and personality come through in his/her work. In both viewing and creating\, Sumi-e is a very contemplative form of painting. \nIn this class at RESOBOX\, a Japanese cultural center in New York\, all students will start from the basics of ink-wash painting\, such as how to hold a brush. All materials such as ink\, brushes\, calligraphy paper\, etc. will be provided for the students. \nUpcoming In-person Class Schedule\nCherry Blossoms (Sakura)\nWednesday\, April 1st\, 6:00–7:00 PM or 7:30–8:30 PM\nWednesday\, April 22nd\, 6:00–7:00 PM or 7:30–8:30 PM\nSaturday\, May 16th\, 1:30 – 2:30 PM\nWednesday\, May 20th\, 6:00–7:00 PM or 7:30–8:30 PM \nGoldfish (Kingyo)\nWednesday\, June 10th\, 6:00–7:00 PM or 7:30–8:30 PM\nSaturday\, June 20th\, 1:30 – 2:30 PM \n＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ \nVirtual Interactive Japanese Ink Painting Class\nIf you are looking for a therapeutic time for yourself\, or fun activities at home\, please join our virtual ink painting Sumi-e class! \nParticipants are responsible for providing their own supplies below needed for the class.

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:Chanoyu for Everyone: Tea Ceremony Class at the Table
DESCRIPTION:Japanese tea ceremony\, known in Japan as chanoyu (“hot water for tea”) or chadō (“the way of tea”) is considered a representative traditional art of Japan. This ritual\, with a history spanning over 800 years\, comprises a mixture of socializing\, meditation\, and appreciation of a good drink\, and remains popular to this day. \nDuring a tea ceremony\, powdered green tea\, or matcha\, is prepared using traditional tea utensils. The series of movements and associated ritual\, based in Zen Buddhism\, help to calm the mind and improve concentration. During the ceremony\, silence is maintained\, allowing  subtle sounds and nuances of light that are normally overlooked to take center stage. A bowl of matcha prepared and sipped in this setting will have a deeper\, richer taste than usual\, permeating the entire body. \n \n \nWhile chanoyu has its origins in Buddhism and court etiquette\, at its heart it is meant to be a gathering of friends enjoying tea together. You don’t have to be a cultural expert to partake in good tea and good company\, and this class is a wonderful first experience for those from all walks of life who are curious about tea ceremony. \nWhile tea ceremony is often performed with all of the participants sitting on the floor\, this can be hard on the body. Instead\, this class is held around a table\, to make it easy for everyone to participate and learn about the traditions and history of tea in Japan. Incorporate meditation through chanoyu into your daily routine and aim for a balanced and fulfilling life for both body and mind! \nThere are no required materials for this class; participants are encouraged to come as they are! Optional class supplies include a tea bowl (a ceramic bowl about 5 inches in diameter) and a kimono\, but neither is required; we will have bowls for all students\, and all manner of attire is welcome. \nWhether you just want to come once to see what it’s about\, or want to set off on the road of becoming a Tea Master yourself\, this class is the perfect start for your journey through the fascinating world of chanoyu!

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:Virtual Japanese Flower Arrangement Misho Ikebana Class
DESCRIPTION:Simple and easy Ikebana at your home\nWhen you hear about Ikebana\, maybe you think you need special tools and skills.  For this class\, we will help you make a simple Ikebana arrangement at your home using standard tools you probably already have. A few things you will need: \n\nYou will need to find your own flowers. We are sorry that we are unable to deliver flowers to your home (try calling around; some local shops will deliver). But any flowers are OK! Just make sure to get 2-3 varieties\, and choose what you like. We don’t need a lot.\nYou will need clippers or scissors that you don’t mind using to cut flower stems.\nA vase. If you don’t have a vase\, you can use a glass\, a coffee cup\, a cereal bowl\, or your choice of container\, as long as it has a little depth. You might even surprise yourself with how nice a non-traditional vase can look with a cute arrangement of flowers.\n\n*If you have your own Kenzan\, Flower Pin\, or Pin Frog\, you can use it. And if you want to buy one\, you can order on Amazon online. Go to the link. \n\n\nIn this class\, we will check each student’s tools and flowers\, then help you with tips on how to build up and create your own Ikebana arrangement. \nFor this Ikebana class\, bring your creativity and we will support you with some Ikebana theory. The most important thing is that flowers can help you relax and this class can be a therapeutic time for you to focus and create. You don’t need so many rules: let’s relax and enjoy touching flowers while adding life and warmth to your home in this class. \n\n**Classes will be held via the Zoom Video Conferencing application\, a private Zoom link will be sent to participants before the class begins. The classes will be held in Eastern Time. \n \n\n\n\nIkebana\, well-known as traditional Japanese flower arrangement\, was developed as a Buddhist expression of the beauty of nature. There are many Ikebana “ryuha”\, or schools\, and various styles of arrangement within each. In this class\, instructor Ryoko Arnwine will introduce you to Misho-Ryu Ikebana and teach you how to have fun arranging flowers in an open and approachable environment.  \nIn class\, Ryoko will first demonstrate how to arrange Ikebana and teach participants a few basic techniques and rules. After the demonstration\, participants will be able to get hands-on and arrange their own Ikebana\, while the instructor provides help along the way. When you learn by doing\, it’s easier to internalize the process and techniques than if you focus on memorizing a bunch of rules first. \nInstructor Ryoko Arnwine wants all participants feel how beautiful the Japanese art of flowers is. Join her to experience a new hands-on way of expressing the beauty of nature. \nClass Schedule for 2026:\n\nJanuary 4th\nFebruary 1st\nMarch 1st\nApril 5th\nMay 3rd\nJune 7th\nJuly 5th\nAugust 2nd\nSeptember 6th\nOctober 4th\nNovember 1st\nDecember 6th\n\nAll classes take place from 12pm-1pm (ET)
