Kadomatsu

When it comes to iconic New Year’s decorations, kadomatsu definitely come to mind.

Kadomatsu are considered markers to welcome and invite the gods.

As a lucky New Year’s ornament, even if using real kadomatsu is difficult, how about making a wall decoration using colored paper or construction paper? The main element of the kadomatsu, the bamboo, is easy to make—just roll green origami paper and cut the tips at an angle—but the surrounding decorations can be a bit detailed and tricky.

Staff can lend support while creating them together with older adults so everyone has fun.

Kadomatsu create a very New Year-like, celebratory atmosphere—give it a try!
