**Wooden lamp making with Japanese traditional pattern**

In this workshop, we will make a wooden lamp with Japanese traditional pattern Asanoha麻の葉 and Kikko亀甲. They are one of the 1000 Monyo patterns from Japan. Behind the wooden panel, a Shoji paper will be applied to create a soft ambient light. The lamp can be used as freestanding or optionally hanging.
