Students first learn what kumiko is and practice the three foundation patterns — asa-no-ha (hemp leaf), rindō (gentian), and goma (sesame) — building each in a practice frame before taking it apart. Finally, they design their own arrangement inside the flower vase, which has a clear acrylic back that doubles as a display stand, and take it home; no experience is necessary.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/new-york/events/kumiko-woodworking-japanese-joinery-flower-vase-ichirin-zash-55321/", "official_url": "https://resobox.com/event/kumiko-woodworking-japanese-joinery-flower-vase-ichirin-zashi-4/", "image": "https://noky.io/images/2c317a75b5b7e389449ebfacde6c410902809b1ce049e51a4c61ced42243c9e8-1200.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-10-31T13:30:00-04:00", "end": "2026-10-31T15:00:00-04:00", "place": "Resobox", "address": "27th Street 41-26, 11101 Long Island City", "tickets": ""}, {"start": "2026-11-22T13:30:00-05:00", "end": "2026-11-22T15:00:00-05:00", "place": "Resobox", "address": "27th Street 41-26, 11101 Long Island City", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Kimekomi: Japanese Traditional Doll-Making – Frog, Owl & More", "start": "2026-11-07T11:00:00-05:00", "end": "2026-11-07T13:00:00-05:00", "place": "Resobox", "address": "27th Street 41-26, 11101 Long Island City", "price": "$60 / person, all materials included", "price_from": "60.00", "price_to": "60.00", "tickets_url": "https://checkout.square.site/merchant/ADDNG79130W4G/checkout/3V3B2U5RS6PYNSGUFMB4TSZG", "category": "workshops-courses", "tags": ["art/crafts"], "description": "Kimekomi: Japanese Traditional Doll-Making – Frog, Owl & More is a hands-on workshop at RESOBOX where participants make traditional Japanese dolls with all materials included and no experience necessary.
