Chiba Daruma Painting Art Class

About this activity

Daruma dolls are symbols of perseverance, luck, goals, and new beginnings in Japanese culture. Traditionally, people make a wish while painting one eye, then paint the second eye once the wish comes true.

During the workshop, freely design your Daruma using your favorite colors, patterns, names, wishes, or artistic ideas to create a completely one-of-a-kind piece. The experience takes place in a stylish and relaxing creative space in Chiba, offering a unique opportunity to experience Japanese culture through art.

No previous art experience is required, making this activity perfect for beginners, couples, families, solo travelers, and anyone looking for a memorable cultural experience in Japan. At the end of the workshop, take your handmade Daruma home as a special souvenir and memory of your Japan trip.
