Participants use 12 diamond-shaped wooden pieces, along with a rubber band, sandpaper, glue, and wax, to craft a unique coaster. Since scissors and cutters are not required, the risk of injury is minimal. The entire process takes about an hour to complete. The finished coaster can be taken home for personal enjoyment or given as a thoughtful gift. After the coaster-making session, visitors can explore a tea shop in Hadano City, which boasts a rich 72-year history.
