Our ancestors were shinobi samurai who started to serve Tokugawa Ieyasu (the first shogun of the Tokugawa Shogunate) in 1582. The clan served the shogunate for 265 years. In 1868, the clan declined the invitation from the Meiji Government and became independent. We are the only lasting shinobi clan in Japan.

In keeping with the delicate changes of the four seasons in Japan, there are materials and patterns that can only be worn for a limited period of time. Some patterns are considered auspicious, while kimonos with flowers, animals, and insects have their own meanings. Kimono is something that Japanese people are familiar with, but isn't there a lot of knowledge they don't know about it?

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. By decorating the broken parts as "scenery", you can create original works full of personality. 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. You can take your time to repair vessels and broken items while carefully learning traditional techniques, and experience discovering new beauty.
