Taxes and fees will be calculated at checkout
Overview
Make your own way to the centrally located Kintsugi atelier in Tokyo's Minami-Aoyama neighborhood and get ready to try your hand at the art of golden joinery. Meet your teacher and a small group of no more than 10 guests, then put on your “samue,” a traditional Japanese craftsperson's garment. Over the course of an hour or so, your teacher will guide you through the technique of Kintsugi, using a specially prepared ceramic plate supplied by the atelier. You'll also learn about Japanese culture and philosophy and get insights into traditional Japanese crafts. In the case of Kintsugi, it represents the idea of giving that which is thought to be at the end of its life a new beginning. By the end of the lesson, you'll have a unique souvenir to take home and a new perspective on the true value of objects.
