Ishigaki Island weaving experience, weaving class experience and tours

It was almost my first weaving experience, but it was very interesting. The introduction was easy to understand and I had no particular difficulties. The threads used for minsa-ori, dyes, Ishigaki Island's unique patterns and their backgrounds, etc. are very interesting as a cultural experience. The time required is about 10 to 20 minutes for weaving a small table center. There is a small museum and store inside the facility, and it took about 1 hour to visit all of them. If you go around slowly and in detail, it might take about 1.5 hours. You can choose from 6 types of cloth, 3 red and 3 blue.

This is my third visit to Ishigaki Island. This time, I tried to do something I don't usually do and experienced mincer craft. It was fun and deep looking at the simple work! The weather wasn't great, so it was nice to be able to do it indoors!

It was a great experience, although I didn't get the force right and the edges were rattled. It was over so quickly, I would like to try a large size next time!

There is a Mincer exhibition hall in the museum, where you can learn a lot about the history of the Mincer and other things, and the exhibits were very nice. It was good because I could concentrate mindlessly. It was a good experience!

I like mincer weaving, so I had a chance to experience it. Thanks to the samples and easy-to-understand explanations, I was able to weave all the way through. It was a very enjoyable time!

I had never done weaving before and was worried about how it would turn out, but with careful advice I was able to finish it in about 60 minutes. Once I got the rhythm, I was able to finish it with a thump, and it was fun.
