Traditional Shodo Japanese Calligraphy Class in Osaka

Personalised class in doing calligraphy

Reviewed by: KathyR

Our hostess was charming and friendly. She was able to demonstrate and explain the art of calligraphy very clearly and we had a great time practicing our words and names and then producing a copy to take home and frame. My son and I were the only ones in the class so had her undivided attention. She was very complimentary about all our efforts.
As a bonus we asked for the recommendation for any nearby sushi restaurants, and she sent us to a sensational place.

One of the best team outing ever! チームビルディングの一環としていい経験となりました。

Reviewed by: pen-chan

The Edo Kiriko lesson was done all in English.
We had office exchange colleague from Germany and the explanation/instructions were very easy to follow.
Pros:
-venue close to the station
-easy to understand instructions in English
-lots of glasses to chose from
-can take your "art work" home on the day
-though it involves cutting and carving, it was very safe
-everyone was very happy with the finished work
-very photogenic
-many interesting places to eat out afterwords (good location)
-lots of fun and it is beutiful
Cons:
-could only use cash for paying on the day
-any discount prices for second time on words?
-many not be so good for a team of more than 6 at a time since they only have 6 cutting machines
-90 min may not be enough time if you want to make more than one

金継ぎ教室 一日体験 大切な器を美しく修理する伝統技術 ＜南阿佐ヶ谷＞by 手仕事屋久家

One of the best things I did in Tokyo

Reviewed by: Jennifer

The kind couple who run Kuge Crafts make very efficient use of the time allotted. You’ll repair only a very small break in a beautiful cup, but while you wait for various materials to harden/dry/etc., you’ll learn about the history of kintsugi, other similar art forms, and other kintsugi techniques besides epoxy putty. The treats served are delicious too. I came away wanting to do this at home; luckily you’ll receive a shopping list and photo to take to Tokyo Hands so you can buy anything you won’t find at home before you leave town.

Maiko Dance with Dinner & Kyoto Night View Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus

Too expensive for such a performance

Reviewed by: Azadeh Iranian

The geisha was so amateur, she was shaking while dancing. Nobody explained the way we should eat the traditional food.
On the way back, the tour leader was just speaking Japanese and didn’t care about foreigners attendants. She was speaking Japanese all the way back, and sometimes they were laughing or clapping and we as foreigners just waiting for some explanations but nothing.
In my idea it was a dishonor to non-Japanese guest. The tour provider company should provide the same Facilities for all guests. In General it was an expensive activity with poor facilities!

絶対おすすめです

Reviewed by: こじか

バスツアーにして大正解でした。奈良の中心部から離れている見所を網羅して、計画的、かつ丁寧にガイドしてくださり、金額以上の満足感です。美しい仏像や宝物について、事前にバス中で写真付の資料を使って解説されていたので、より分かりやすく印象に残りました。ガイドさんの人柄も良く、さわやかで気さく。御朱印もかわりにもらっていただけたり、連れとの記念写真を取ってくださったりと、至れり尽くせり。これまで、色々なバスツアーに参加してきましたが、奈良で観光するならこのツアーはおすすめです。食事は別料金（1000円位）で事前にお願い出来ます。昼食時間に各自で食べるお店は多少ありました。歩く距離はさすがに結構ありますし、スケジュールがタイトなので、足の悪い方や体力に自信のない方は１日ツアーは辛いかも。

もう一度

Reviewed by: ちにー

練習時間は少しあります。ただ、練習時間を延ばすと本番が短くなるだけです。
練習では、
・まっすぐに深めの線を作る。
・怖がらずにゆっくり強めに回転ヤスリをグラスに押し当てる。
・溝がキレイなV字型に。
なるように心がけて、少しコツを掴んだらすぐに本番の下書きと削りに入った方がよいです。
溝のV字型が深く彫れていないと、影ができずにのっぺりとした仕上がりになり江戸切子の美しさが出ません。
ポイント消化のためと予約したツアーでしたが、成果品も持ち帰れて使っていけますし、お値段以上の楽しいツアーでした。
もう一度作ればきっともっと上手にできる…と…思います…。

It has been such a nice experience because the hosts were kind and wanted so much to share their knowledge.
Kintsugi wasn't has difficult as I taught : I've just followed what they showed me.
They explained me where I can buy the tools. They made me discover another kind of japanese artcrafts like liquerware.
I loved the way they welcomed me with a delicious mango pie and a fresh fruits drink.
A delightful moment, I advice you to try this experience !

Such a wonderful experience!

Reviewed by: Christine

This was such a fun, interesting and enjoyable experience! Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko were so kind, knowledgeable, helpful. They were very patient as they tried to bridge the language barrier while giving instructions. They had several “cheat sheets” in English to help me understand.

They also were quite hospitable, providing snacks and even taking my photo several times during the repair process. Yoshiko also kindly showed me her ceramics studio, as I had made the piece that I used.

The entire process was easy enough, but patience and care are necessary. They gave me a list of supplies to purchase (and the address of a store so that I could bring those home with me.

Overall, I would highly recommend this experience. It’s a great introduction into the beautiful art of Japanese kintsugi! As an aside, I had mentioned to some of the staff at our hotel that I was taking this class and they scoured the hotel to find some old examples that they had in their possession. When I returned with my piece, the staff were impressed and asked for the contact info so they could recommend the Kuge’s to other hotel guests.

金継ぎ教室 一日体験 大切な器を美しく修理する伝統技術 ＜南阿佐ヶ谷＞by 手仕事屋久家

A lovely way to learn a peaceful art form!

Reviewed by: Lawrence

I had such a good time learning kintsugi, I went straight from their workshop to a craft store (with their extremely helpful bilingual shopping list!) to be able to do it more at home. The Kuge-sans were so welcoming and kind. I brought a small bowl that I had recently broken, and they helped me magically put it back together. They also had beautiful tea cups available to repair.The Kuge-sans do a wonderful job of communicating the joy of kintsugi even without too much English. They were prepared with photos and examples to make every step clear. Overall, the experience was peaceful and satisfying, and definitely a lovely way to rest from the hurry and stress of international travel.

  • The ceramic of this bowl was very delicate so I wasn't sure kintsugi would be possible, but Yoshiichiro made it work!

  • The final dish is beautiful!

Such a nice couple

Reviewed by: Tiffany

Arrived 20 min late because we were an hour away and got a little lost, but they didn’t mind.

The workshop is led by an elderly couple who have been doing kintsugi for many years. They were even featured in a few books and magazines!

When we arrived, there was mango Mille crepe cake and apple tea, which were both SO GOOD. It’s summer when we went, so the snack and drink were both so refreshing.

We picked our cups and got right to work. They walked us through the process step by step and gave us a list of the steps and materials to buy at the store if we wanted to do kintsugi on our own at home.

We got to see some of the kintsugi works they fixed, and some were so intricately re-pieced, it blew our minds.

Overall, I had so much fun. The couple is super sweet and take pics of you on their iPad as you’re working and email them to you, since your hands are full.

The next time I go back to japan, I will take their class again, without a doubt. I really do recommend taking this class because it’s such a unique experience that I’ll always remember, along with having a completely uniquely fixed cup .

The picture I attached from the book is the picture of the couple.
