We are so proud and happy that the East Asian Museum is coming to Comic Con Stockholm Summer + Made in Asia. Throughout the weekend you can join in and try everything from Origami – Japanese paper folding, print a yokai, listen to a talk about Yokai – ghosts and creatures in Japanese folklore and lots more! Read below to see all the workshops and lectures you can attend.
Yokai are creatures from Japanese folklore. Make acquaintances with supernatural creatures such as Kappa, Tengu or Amabie. Choose your favorite and make your own postcard or bookmark with stamps based on original images in the collections of world culture museums.
Meet and listen to museum pedagogue Jon Johansson and Cezar Borgkrans from the world culture museums and dive deep into the subject of Yokai. Humans have always sought explanations for strange phenomena, strange dreams or the feeling of an invisible presence. In Japanese folklore, they talk about Yokai. Jon Johansson is working on an upcoming exhibition about yokai at the Ethnographic Museum in Stockholm and recently returned from Japan where he visited places connected to yokai.
Furoshiki(風呂敷)is a Japanese fabric that is used as a cloth, but also for bags, backpacks and instead of wrapping paper. This multi-tool has a history that spans over 1300 years! Instructor Mio Nakamura will talk about Furoshiki and its history. Then learn about different Furoshiki techniques and try your hand at wrapping. Mio was born and raised in Japan, but now lives in Gothenburg where she runs Origami Japonica. She has worked with origami and Japanese package wrapping for 20 years and is an experienced instructor who works with both children and adults.
That a thin sheet of paper turns into a crane, lily or ash – is it possible? Origami is an ancient paper art form from Japan. Try folding different models step by step, together with origami instructor Mio Nakamura. Mio was born and raised in Japan, but now lives in Gothenburg where she runs Origami Japonica. She has worked with origami and Japanese package wrapping for 20 years and is an experienced instructor who works with both children and adults.
