Experience Traditional Craftsmanship at Kobe Suma Sea World Hotel

Kobe Suma Sea World Hotel, a premier hotel operated by Granvista Hotel & Resort, is hosting a unique workshop event titled "Hyogo's Tradition Woven Together: A Coin Case to Remember Your Journey". This exciting event is scheduled for November 22, 2025, at the Setouchi Harbor Restaurant, where participants can engage with the rich traditions and craftsmanship of the Hyogo region.

The workshop will feature an original coin case crafted with the local "Banshu Ori" fabric and "Sugihara Paper". As attendees enjoy refreshments, they will learn about HALOP, a dynamic brand born from traditional techniques passed down in Taka Town, Hyogo. This is an opportunity to appreciate not just the local goods, but also the natural blessings of the region.

During the workshop, participants will have the chance to create their very own coin case in the distinctive color scheme inspired by the orca (black and white). They'll select from various textures and colors of Banshu Ori, getting creative by adding personalized touches such as logos or sea creature stamps to decorate their coin case, making it a cherished keepsake of their visit to Kobe Suma Sea World Hotel.

About HALOP

HALOP is committed to reviving the Japanese traditional washi paper, which was an integral part of life in Japan before the rise of mass-produced Western paper in the Meiji era. By leveraging washi's unique characteristics and rich textures, HALOP aims not just to produce quality products but to ensure that washi culture continues to thrive for future generations. Each lightweight HALOP product serves as a reminder for people living in these uncertain times to rediscover their value and broaden their horizons.

With innovative products made from washi, HALOP hopes to inspire new opportunities and creativity in your life. Join us in preserving and celebrating the timeless art of Hyogo's traditional crafts at this one-of-a-kind workshop.
