Maana Homes' Earthen Wall workshop invites participants to craft their own art panels using Tsuchikabe, a traditional material found in Kyoto’s machiyas. Tsuchikabe combines clay, rice straw, sand, and seaweed, known not only for its durability but also for its ability to enhance well-being. In this hands-on experience, visitors explore the heritage and techniques behind this eco-friendly building method, all while contributing to sustainable practices.

The experience takes place at Maana Atelier, a beautifully restored traditional machiya, where visitors can engage in a range of creative activities in a space designed to foster community interaction and exploration. Through this immersive workshop, participants not only craft an art panel but also connect to an enduring tradition that balances art, history, and environmental mindfulness.
