Kintsugi is a repair technique in which broken parts of ceramics such as cracks, chips, and cracks are glued together with lacquer and decorated with gold and other metal powder. It is also called Kintsukuroi. At our salon, we use simple lacquer instead of real lacquer, and we finish it reasonably. Tableware that holds a special meaning is revived by Kintsugi, and upgraded by gold. We accept lessons and orders. The experience venue is Minoh City, a city rich in nature in Hokusetsu, Osaka. 20 minutes by train from central Osaka Venue: 10 minutes walk from Sakurai Station on the Hankyu Minoh Line or at the cafe in front of Sakurai Station At the cafe, we ask that each person order one drink If a child of junior high school age or younger participates, a parent or guardian must apply and participate with them. We do not allow children to participate alone.

This is a course where you can experience "Modern Kintsugi" at a long-established lacquerware store. In this course, unlike full-fledged kintsugi, which uses real lacquer, substitute lacquer is used to restore the pottery. It is resistant to rashes and dries quickly, so you can take your work home with you on the same day. In addition, in this course, you can prepare a vessel for restoration, so you can easily experience Kintsugi empty-handed. Of course, you can also bring the vessel you want to do kintsugi. The shop is located in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, where many long-established traditional craft shops gather. During the Edo period, it prospered as a base for commerce and logistics, and even now you can feel the atmosphere of Edo culture everywhere. Why don't you experience Kintsugi, a traditional Japanese restoration technique, while enjoying a walk before and after the experience?
