The workshop is led by Emi Tachibana, founder of Riverside Wrapping, a NYC based creative specializing in Japanese gift-wrapping, furoshiki, and Mizuhiki design.

Her handcrafted Mizuhiki earrings are currently carried at the Japanese American National Museum gift shop in Los Angeles, and her work has been featured at museums, corporate events, and cultural festivals across the U.S.
