Bring your mom or the favorite woman in your life to Shofuso for a one of a kind after-hours experience. Sip mimosas on our veranda while taking in the beautiful views, take a private tour of the house and create a beautiful suminagashi silk scarf to commemorate the experience.
Suminagashi or floating ink is a marbling technique that dates back to the 12th century in Japan. Pigment is added to a vat of water and manipulated to make beautiful organic designs and patterns. Each scarf created will be a one of a kind work of art.
