A swordsmith will teach you the techniques of Japanese sword making and spend a whole day making a short sword with a blade length of less than 30 cm. During the experience, charcoal cutting, tamaheshi, tsutsubokashi, forging, unbending, fire making, soil placement, quenching, and blacksmith sharpening will be performed. The sword will then be registered and sharpened at a later date, and will be shipped to your home along with a registration certificate. If you select an option, you can also choose a Japanese sword such as a wakizashi (large) (small), katana, or tachi. Registration, packaging, and shipping fees are all included in the price. *Due to the Firearms and Swords Possession Control Act, the swordsmith will engrave the swordsmith's name on the sword. It is possible to engrave the participant's name as well. In addition, registration and sharpening are required, so it will take 6 to 9 months to deliver the sword. *The address, name, and phone number are required for the owner's details for the registration review and for shipping the finished product. If they are different from those registered with Activity Japan, please be sure to contact us here. If there is no contact, we will register and ship the sword as is. *If shipping overseas, please check for yourself whether the country can receive Japanese swords. In addition, export procedures, packaging fees, and shipping fees will be required separately. The amount varies depending on the country, so please contact us in advance. Payment will be made in cash on the day. *Damaged or scratched acrylic cases cannot be repaired, so please handle them carefully.

Only at our studio can you experience making a small pattern and sharpening it. You will learn how to make a Japanese sword while working, and you will not know until you experience the work of striking iron to change its shape and create ripples, so I think it will be a great learning experience.

This is our recommended plan where you can create the perfect lipstick for yourself after receiving a professional personal color diagnosis and understanding the colors that suit you! The pair plan is very popular because you can listen to the diagnosis of your loved one next to you, so you can use it as a reference for future shopping and gifts. First, a personal color consultant will diagnose your base (yellow or blue) and four seasons (select in detail up to 1st and 2nd). After that, we will advise you on the lip color that suits you based on the diagnosis results. You can also ask questions about cosmetics and fashion within the time! After the diagnosis, you can make your own original lipstick from start to finish with your own hands. Mix freely from over 25 colors. You can also choose the scent and lipstick case. It is Japan's first specialty store for personal color diagnosis x lipstick production. In addition, it is supervised by the owner consultant who has a first-class cosmetics certification and a special cosmetics concierge, and all the instructors in charge of this plan are beauty professionals who are personal color consultants! You can make it with confidence even if it's your first time. It's also conveniently located just a minute's walk from Yotsubashi Station and a five-minute walk from Shinsaibashi Station. It's also close to popular tourist spots Dotonbori and Amemura. PARCO and Daimaru are also just a five-minute walk away, so you can make a shopping or beauty day in one go. It's also a great memory from your trip to Osaka. ★This plan includes a basic full personal color diagnosis for the four seasons, but you can also upgrade to a detailed personal color diagnosis (90 minutes) that will analyze, select, and suggest 12 and 16 types in more detail.
