Experience the Fragrance: A Family Workshop
As summer break approaches, many families seek out fun and educational activities to enjoy together. Kohgen, a renowned incense and fragrance manufacturer based in Nagoya, Japan, is hosting exciting workshops designed for families to explore the world of scents. This event, titled "The Secrets of Fragrance: Scent Pouch Crafting Workshop," allows participants to dive deep into the history and culture of aromas, making it a perfect summer learning experience.
Workshop Details
These interactive sessions will occur at both the Ginza and Ueno locations of Kohgen. Each workshop aims to engage the senses—sight, touch, smell, and sound—by allowing participants to handle and smell various raw materials such as fragrant woods, herbs, and essential oils. Attendees will not only learn about the different types of scents but also get the chance to craft their unique scent pouches. Each participant will create one custom pouch, mixing ingredients to produce a fragrance that is entirely their own.
The workshops are designed to be both fun and educational. Kids will work with a special support worksheet that leads them through the crafting and learning process. By the end of the session, participants will have a completed report that they can use for their summer research projects, combining hands-on experience with academic skills.
