We visited a tradional products museum in Yame this time.

Here is a comment from our students;

We made our way to the Yame Traditional Craft Museum, where walked through paper, stone, bamboo and material craftworks to the paper making room. Here we learnt how to make paper traditionally, using wodden boxes to scoop up pulp, decorate our masterpieces and hung them to dry. 

While we waited, we explored the Museum, seeing the many paper based products they produce. We spent some time with one of the few remaining bamboo craftsmen, who showed us his technique to make thin bamboo strips and the products he then weaves with them. His skill was incredible!

Feeling hungry, we went next door to a local produce shop and had a delicious meal of soup and salads. The number of dishes presented on each tray was truly astounding! With full bellies, we returned to pick up our beautiful, handmade paper and admired each others work. 

It was such a unique and interesting experience, we loved each moment of it and now have the best souvenirs to share with family and friends!”
