Description

Duration: Approximately 2.5 hours Number of people/price: 2-5 people ¥4,500/person (¥6,500/person) Reservations accepted: Up to 3 days in advance What is Gansiner? In the past, women in Okinawa would carry heavy or large objects on top of a Gansiner on their heads. Nowadays, it is popular to use it as a mat for watermelon offerings or a trivet, or to arrange it and display it as interior decoration. Recommended for those who want to make a souvenir unique to Okinawa. Those who want to be soothed by the natural scent. Those who are interested in making materials for grass weaving.
