This is a recorded version of a livestream from Mokuhankan in Asakusa Tokyo, on August 31, 2023.
Dave Bull and Ayano Okamura went to visit a nearby papermaking experience - Watashino - organized by a group of papermakers from Shikoku, who recently opened a shop near Sensoji Temple in Asakusa.
Dave and Ayano-san had a ton of fun making the paper and learning from the instructors, and happily recommend the experience to anyone visiting the area.
