  1. The best kintsugi experience!
    Reviewed by: Maren & Nathan, 2023/10/21
    We LOVED this class - Yoshii and her husband were incredibly hospitable and patient in teaching us the history and basics of kintsugi. They had tea and snacks for us prepared when we arrived and answered all of our (many) questions as the afternoon went on. It was one of our top experiences in Japan and something we will definitely do again when we are back!

  2. Wonderful

    What a wonderful way to spend a half-day in Tokyo. Meeting Yoshiko-san and Yoshiichiro-san was a real pleasure. On a wet and rainy day it was doubly appreciated to be welcomed with a hot cup of tea and a slice of delicious homemade cake. The Kintsugi course was very hands-on and very informative. I left feeling that I had all the information necessary to do some beautiful repairs at home. I w...more

  3. Fun experience!
    Reviewed by: Kat, 2023/10/16
    The location was easy to find and someone was right outside to assist you up to the workshop. The instructor was able to help me and my friend (English speakers) and also others speaking Japanese. His attitude was very positive and encouraging. The workshop may take less time than stated if you have a quick or simple design. Be sure to check out the shop below afterward - there are some really stu...more

  4. A look at an ancient art
    Reviewed by: Pamela Levene, 2023/10/09
    Our host and hostess were a delightful couple: one the artisan, one his lovely wife who communicated with us. I had read quite a lot about kintsugi but there is always something new to learn! I was made to feel very welcome, and it was a fascinating experience. I would highly recommend this class.

    • We were taught how to fill a chip or crack, but also added gold decoration to our chosen item.

    The directions to the workshop are clear. Yoshiichiro-san and Yoshiro-san are the sweetest couple ever. I thoroughly enjoyed the step-by-step one day workshop. It was informative, easy to follow and it captured the essence of the concept and art of Kintsugi. I think that Kintsugi really is a beautiful way of thinking and how we can live by embracing imperfections. I would say though, that ...more

  6. Fun for adults and children
    Reviewed by: William, 2023/09/16
    Friendly staff had limited English, but plenty for what we needed to make our parfaits. Fun, not super long, crafting activity that our whole family (including 17 & 11 year olds) enjoyed. They packed the final product amazingly so they made it home with zero damage.

    Upon arrival at KUGE crafts we were met by both Yoshiko Kuge and her husband, who were both extremely kind and welcoming. We sat at a shared table and was given a sweet cake, crackers and endless cups of sweet lemon tea. Yoshiko gave us a brief history of Kintsugi and the types of repairs from chips to replacing missing pieces. She shared her experience in how long she has been doing this for and ...more

  10. Wonderful Experience!
    Reviewed by: Jon, 2023/09/04
    We had a fantastic time with Yoshiko Kuge. She taught us kintsuge while contextualizing its usage as a modern art form and meditative practice. We have beautiful souvenirs and lovely memories thanks to her kindness and generosity.
