Paint Hydrangeas at Kogenin Temple | Seasonal Art Workshop in Iiyama
A hands-on workshop at Kōgen-in Temple where participants create Japanese paper artwork inspired by hydrangeas.
Spend a creative morning or afternoon at Kogenin Temple — lovingly known as Iiyama’s “hydrangea temple” — and create your own artwork inspired by its blooming ajisai (hydrangeas). Using stamping techniques and Japanese washi paper, you’ll craft a unique piece that captures the beauty of the season. No art experience needed. First-timers and families are warmly welcome!
This Workshop Is For You If…
- You’re curious about art but have never tried before
