Would you like to make your own chopsticks in a nostalgic space? For making memories of your trip to Kyoto, for a girls' night out, or as a gift for your loved ones... You can take the product you made home with you on the day.
This workshop takes place in a lovely old house, with an equally lovely owner. You get to choose your own (almost finished) chopsticks, and basically you will sand them with sand paper, then polish them. While that is less hands-on work than at other workshops, I think the reason is the material used - these are made of something nicknamed "iron bamboo", and that's one of the best materials for chopsticks. So while your actual contribution to the final product may not be all that much, what you get are actual high quality chopsticks that are as durable as they are a cool souvenir!

Soft and fragrant "Kyoto It is a set of chopstick making of the famous wood Kitayama cedar "and a cupboard making of Yuzen that dyes a pattern using a pattern. Every time the wood is squeezed lightly, a faint scent spreads around. Why don't you try to make chopsticks in one room of Kyomachiya where such air flows?
This was a nice experience where you get to create your own chopsticks basically from scratch, by shaving and sanding them from more or less raw pieces of wood. Finally, you can also decorate a little bag to carry them. In total it took around 2 hours for a completely handmade souvenir, and I had a lot of fun. The only potential downside is that the wood used is a very soft one, which makes it easy to work with, but that could impact the durability of the chopsticks. So treat them more as a souvenir and care for them properly.

A chopstick rest with a transparent acrylic base and a resin-enclosed pressed flower. Put the gold leaf with the pressed flowers, you can make it gorgeously. The resin uses Pajiko's star cocoons, so it is highly transparent and glossy. Since this resin does not cause yellowing after curing, it can maintain a beautiful and transparent state forever. Since an acrylic base is used, chopsticks do not touch the resin part directly, so you can use it with confidence. * Additional production is possible for 900 yen per piece after the third piece. Gift wrapping is available for those who wish (+300 yen) * Contains up to 4 chopstick rests.

The main production area is the "Kuroe district" in Kainan City, which is a traditional craft handed down in Wakayama Prefecture, which prospered as the castle of the Tokugawa Gosanke family. Together with Aizu lacquerware and Yamanaka lacquerware, it is said to be one of the three major production areas in Japan. Making your own chopsticks using "lacquer" taught by the craftsmen of "Kishu lacquer ware", which is said to be one of the three major lacquer ware. Put the design in "lacquer" instead of paint or ink. Even beginners can rest assured that the craftsmen will teach you directly. The rice you eat with the finished My chopsticks is surely exceptional. ～ Flow of the day ～ ①Please choose your favorite chopsticks. * Prices vary depending on the type of chopsticks. ② After drawing a picture or letters with lacquer, sprinkle metal powder on it. ③ When you wipe it quickly, the lacquer you drew turns into gold in an instant! * Be careful not to get a rash because lacquer is used.
