Discover Kintsugi, a beautiful Japanese traditional art of repairing broken pottery with gold, with roots dating back to Japan’s samurai era.
Begin by choosing your favourite plate from our selection. Then, experience the Kintsugi process yourself as you carefully repair and decorate the cracks, transforming a once-broken piece into something beautiful and completely unique.
One of the most special ideas behind Kintsugi is that broken parts are not something to hide. Instead, the cracks are highlighted with gold and become part of the object’s storey and beauty.
During the experience, you can use as much gold powder as you like, giving you the freedom to create your own unique design. Our friendly English-speaking staff will guide you through each step, so no previous experience is needed.
Once your plate is complete, you can take your restored piece home the same day — a one-of-a-kind souvenir from Japan that you created yourself.
Enjoy the workshop in a relaxed and welcoming studio with friendly staff and amazing views of Shinjuku. You can also browse our selection of Japanese souvenirs and discover other traditional Japanese experiences available at the studio, including chopstick making and Japanese Calligraphy.
Come experience the beauty and philosophy of Kintsugi, create something uniquely yours, and take home a special memory of your time in Tokyo.
