What you can expect

Experience the beauty of Japanese craftsmanship through Kintsugi, the traditional art of repairing broken ceramics using urushi lacquer and real gold powder. Located in the cultural heart of Asakusa, just steps away from Senso-ji Temple and Nakamise Shopping Street, this hands-on workshop teaches you the philosophy behind Kintsugi: that broken objects become more beautiful through repair, just like people.

During the 90-minute class, learn each step of the process — from understanding the history and philosophy of Kintsugi, joining ceramic pieces together, smoothing the seams, applying lacquer, and finally brushing gold onto the repaired lines. Work with authentic materials and receive friendly instruction from a professional craft teacher, making this experience perfect for beginners.

At the end of the workshop, take home your beautifully restored ceramic piece as a meaningful souvenir, symbolising resilience and transformation. This experience creates a peaceful and mindful break from sightseeing, ideal for anyone interested in Japanese culture, art, and slow craft.
