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 using the gold lacquer technique to repair broken vessels and other broken items and breathe new life into them. "Simple gold lacquer" is perfect for travelers with limited time, and even beginners can participate with confidence.

However, since the works created in this experience are simplified versions, they cannot be used for eating or drinking, but they are perfect as interior art that you can enjoy as decoration. Vessels that you have repaired and designed yourself 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 brighten up your space! Full-scale gold lacquer experience classes using real lacquer are also held regularly every month.

Would you like to try dancing the mysterious and beautiful shrine maiden dance? Shrine maiden dance is passed down from generation to generation by shrine maidens at shrines. Shrine maiden dance is often performed at Shinto rituals and Shinto ceremonies, so I think many people have never seen it. Originally, it was said that the gods would descend to the shrine maiden who was dancing the shrine maiden dance and give them divine guidance. In other words, by dancing the shrine maiden dance, you can become one with the gods and nature. Shrine maiden dance is filled with the "feeling of respect for the gods" and "beautiful manners" that have been cherished by ancient Japanese people. For both Japanese and foreigners, it will be an opportunity to experience Japan's beautiful culture and learn about the spirituality that Japanese people have cherished. "Why do people find shrine maiden dance beautiful?" We will also look into the secret of its beauty. In this experience, a former professional shrine maiden instructor will carefully teach you the basics of shrine maiden dance. First, after changing into a shrine maiden costume, you will watch a shrine maiden dance performance by the instructor. Learn about the origin and history of shrine maiden dance and the dance, and actually dance to the solemn tunes of Kagura. Your experience at the popular Japanese culture experience cafe in Asakusa is sure to be an unforgettable experience.
