We are delighted to host the first session of the "Bark Weaving Workshop" at Hotel SHU, led by Kaori Yumahare, who lives in harmony with the mountains in Shimanto, Kochi Prefecture.

This is a special opportunity to experience the traditional spirit of Teshima—harvesting what grows from the local soil to create essential tools for daily life.
