Part 2: Wine Tasting & Networking (30 min) Beyond the pitch, Philippe is a passionate winemaker in Bordeaux, France. We will be featuring a selection of his own wines for a special tasting session.

Mizuhiki Art Card Making for Mother’s Day - Cat
2026-05-03 11:00 - 12:00 UTC
Mizuhiki Art Card Making for Mother’s Day
Come create something truly meaningful this Mother’s Day — the special Mizuhiki Card Workshop on May 3rd.
Mizuhiki is a traditional Japanese decorative cord that symbolizes connection, gratitude, and heartfelt wishes. In this workshop, you’ll explore this meaningful craft while creating a piece featuring a paper frame that elevates your mizuhiki card into a small work of art — designed to be displayed on a table or hung on a wall.
We are offering two 1-hour sessions designed for different levels of experience and creative interest.
11:00 AM session: Beginner-friendly, this session focuses on a cute, approachable Mother’s Day card design featuring two small cats. The motif can be seen as a parent and child, or simply as two companions — adding a gentle, heartwarming touch to your creation. It’s perfect for first-timers or anyone looking for a relaxed and enjoyable creative experience. No prior experience needed — just come and enjoy the process.
12:30 PM session: For those who enjoy crafting or are looking for a slightly more detailed experience, this session features a carnation motif incorporating a slightly more intricate mizuhiki knot. It’s ideal for returning participants, craft enthusiasts, or anyone who would like to explore a bit more depth in technique and design.
You’re also very welcome to join both sessions and complete the full experience — creating two different designs that complement each other beautifully.

This workshop is warmly open to everyone: individual participants, couples seeking a shared creative experience, parents and teens, and anyone who simply enjoys hands-on making for a meaningful creative moment.
Spots are limited — we look forward to seeing you there!

2. You will need clippers or scissors that you don’t mind using to cut flower stems.
3. A 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.
*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.
In 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.

Mizuhiki: Japanese Decorative Knots - Jewelry Making
2026-05-17 11:00 - 13:00 UTC
Over the course of this 2-hour in-person workshop, you will experience the traditional Japanese art of mizuhiki through hands-on practice and quiet, mindful creation.

Select your mizuhiki cords and colors
Begin by choosing from a selection of colors. The tones you are drawn to may reflect your mood that day, or perhaps carry a thought for someone special you wish to gift your creation to.
Create the fundamental “Awaji-musubi” knot using three cords
Starting with three mizuhiki cords, you will gently form the Awaji-musubi, one of the most essential and meaningful knot forms in Japanese tradition. Along the way, you will also learn the meaning behind its name, “Awaji,” and its cultural significance.
Explore variations as you gain confidence
If you feel comfortable, you may experiment with additional strands to create slightly more intricate compositions. If time allows, you are also welcome to try “Ume-musubi,” a graceful variation developed from Awaji-musubi with just two additional steps.
Transform your piece into wearable art
Once your knot is complete, you will choose how to finish your creation. Options include earrings or a necklace. Traditional Japanese netsuke-style cords are also available, allowing you to turn your piece into a charm if you prefer.

If this experience sparks a deeper curiosity about the world of mizuhiki, it may open the door to further exploration of more intricate forms and techniques in the future.
Experience a calm, mindful process where simple cords are transformed into elegant, wearable art—carrying both personal meaning and timeless Japanese aesthetics.

Sumi-E: Japanese Ink Painting - Cherry Blossom (Sakura)
2026-05-20 19:30 - 20:30 UTC
Sumi-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.
In 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.

Nerikiri Wagashi: Japanese Sculpted Confectionery - Rose, Hydrangea, and Temari
2026-06-07 14:00 - 16:00 UTC
The instructor: Yuki Sakura
In this session, we will create three types of Nerikiri: a rose, a hydrangea, and a temari (Japanese hand ball) inspired by the gentle early-summer breeze. As we imagine the flowers that bloom in June and petals softly dancing in the wind, I hope we can enjoy the subtle shift into early summer together.
This workshop offers more than the joy of tasting Wagashi — it gives you the experience of creating edible art with your own hands. Simple hand movements such as pressing, pinching, and layering transform into moments of artistic expression. Through this hands-on experience, you will discover the unique beauty of Japanese food culture.
At the end of the class, you’ll take home the Nerikiris you lovingly crafted yourself. I 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.
