It involves covering small, padded shapes with fabric to create three-dimensional images, as seen on the decorative hagoita paddles sold every December at Sensō-ji Temple in Tokyo. This \u003cstrong\u003eJapanese craft kit\u003c\/strong\u003e introduces you to this technique using \u003cstrong\u003echirimen fabric\u003c\/strong\u003e, a lightweight Japanese crepe that softens the shapes. The foam templates come pre-cut, ready to be covered with fabric and then assembled onto the backing. The design combines two symbols of the Japanese summer: the goldfish and the asagao, or morning glory. This flower, which blooms in the early morning, was already all the rage during the Edo period. In about three-quarters of an hour, you’ll have a small hanging picture, which will also make a lovely gift for anyone who loves sewing or Japanese culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5tqvTFt6Buo?si=SO7FWHBd68il9LaJ\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKIT DETAILS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContents: 1 picture frame, 1 sheet of pre-cut foam templates, fabrics and pieces for 1 decoration, 1 illustrated instruction leaflet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinal dimensions: 13.6 × 12.1 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials: paper backing, chirimen fabric, polyester cord, steel bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime required: approximately 45 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipment required (not supplied): sewing scissors, vinyl glue or fabric glue, awl, toothpick or bamboo skewer, small dish for the glue, damp cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQR code with video assembly instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummer wall decoration, an introduction to Japanese crafts, a small gift for a sewing enthusiast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Japan Avenue","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55225566429521,"sku":"UDJ-JEU49","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0266\/2403\/2817\/files\/japanese-fabric-oshie-art-kit-goldfish-754.jpg?v=1791480951","url":"https:\/\/japan-avenue.com\/products\/japanese-fabric-oshie-art-kit-goldfish","provider":"Japan Avenue","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
