The Mayudama Craft Class 'Ohina-sama' is a hands-on workshop in Ichinomiya, Aichi, where participants make hina dolls from silk cocoon balls (mayudama). Using real silk cocoons, participants create small, adorable Emperor and Empress dolls. Ichinomiya has long been known as a 'textile city' with a thriving weaving industry, and crafting with cocoons connects to this local industrial heritage. Enjoyable for all ages, the completed mayudama hina dolls make charming handmade decorations for the Hinamatsuri season.
