Kintsugi

Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro are wonderful instructors who we‘re very welcoming. They helped us step through step to repair our little bowls and cups. Yoshikos english is very Good and we were only Four people in total, which... more was Perfect and relaxing. They perfectly packed our finished goods so we could easily Transport them back to our Home Country. Also we got a Shopping List for all the stuff you need to do Kintsugi at Home, which was very practical at the Store. I highly recommend taking the class here! Thank you so much!

Loved this workshop which was held in a very small group and super relaxed atmosphere and environment.
The technique was clearly explained and I came away feeling I had learned something that wetted my petite for more.... more
It's a perfect 'taster' session and you get to take an unusual souvenir home. Just loved it

This was the most calming and grounding experience, a total contradiction to a typical day in Tokyo. Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro welcome you into the small street facing studio with home made cake, local treats and freshly b... morerewed tea. Occasionally there is the odd call out from their cat that makes the experience so homely and real that you know you are getting a legitimate immersion into a part of Japanese art and culture.

The class is hands on and Yoshiko makes sure you leave with all the tools you need to keep practicing after you leave the class. She also gives you insights into Japanese culture that are inaccessible to the average visitor.

If you are someone who likes to get under the skin of a city or country, and you like to get off the tourist track to truly start to get your foot into the door of what a culture is about, this is the class for you.

I had a great time during the workshop. Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko are really nice and made me feel welcomed. Kintsugi is really interesting to learn.

We had a wonderful experience at this workshop. You immediately feel at home and enjoy learning both the history of this art as well as the hands on application. The pace of the class and setting are really wonderful. I... more love that this we have been given the foundations for this practice and can utilize this in our lives. Highly recommend.

This will be one of my treasured memories from Japan. The Kuges share the essence of this tradition and craft so wonderfully. The little piece we worked on will bring much joy each time I use it.
