A lacquer workshop in Maejima, Naha City, offers a "simple gold lacquer" experience class for tourists and those who want to try gold lacquering even though they don't have much time. This class incorporates traditional gold lacquering techniques, but is a shortened version that anyone can easily enjoy. You can have a unique experience of repairing broken vessels and broken items using the gold lacquering technique and breathing new life into them. "Simple gold lacquer" is perfect for travelers with limited time, and even beginners can participate with confidence. By decorating the broken parts as "scenery", you can create original works full of individuality. However, since the works made in this experience are simplified versions, they cannot be used for eating or drinking, but they are perfect for interior art that can be enjoyed as ornamental or accessory trays. Vessels that you repair yourself and add your own design will become a special one-of-a-kind item, and by displaying them in your home or office, they will become wonderful art pieces that will decorate your space! Full-scale gold lacquer experience classes using real lacquer are also held regularly every month. You can take your time to repair vessels and broken items while carefully learning traditional techniques, and experience discovering new beauty.
