This exclusive workshop is led by a husband-and-wife team recognised as First-Class Seal Engraving Technicians, All-Japan Meister artisans, and officially designated Kyoto traditional craft masters.

Enjoy rare access to an authentic working studio and receive personal guidance in a small-group setting. Every seal is carefully handcrafted by you, making it a meaningful symbol of your connection to Japan.

Experience highlights:
Learn from certified master artisans recognised at the national level
Discover the 1,200-year history of Kyoto’s traditional seal craftsmanship
Design and hand-carve your own personalised Japanese name seal
Take home a beautifully finished hanko in an elegant case
