In this workshop, we will be making a spinning top using the shell of the Strawberry Conch—called tirajya in Okinawa. Let’s try making a handmade toy that incorporates the wisdom gained from previous generations! In the days when your Grandmother and Grandfather were children... if children found a shell while playing on the beach, they would hit them open with rocks and make them into a spinning top toy.
This hands-on workshop experience corresponds with the Hands-On Room's "The Okinawan Ino (Lagoon): The Ocean's Pantry" Experience Kit. Let's learn more about what kinds of shells you might find in Okinawa's amazing ino (ocean lagoon surrounded by coral reef) ecosystem.
The strawberry conch is a delicious shellfish that can be enjoyed stir-fried in butter and soy sauce, boiled in salted water, or eaten as sashimi.
In this workshop, using a variety of tools, you can will have the opportunity to make your own top from a strawberry conch shell. Adults and children alike are invited to join in on the nostalgic fun of making your own handmade toy!
