Make your own dreamcatcher and enjoy brewing tea with the Circle Tea Infuser – served with traditional Japanese confections.
Make a dream catcher using a technique called kikudashi to weave the wire into a beautiful flower pattern.
You can choose the fabric, beads, and hanging feathers for your unique design and take home your dream catcher to bring you sweet dreams of your time in Kyoto.
The technique requires quite a lot of concentration, so we don't recommend it for young children.
