【京都】 Traditional Kintsugi Workshop with a Master Craftsman

In this unique experience, you will restore a vessel using the traditional Kintsugi technique, guided by a nationally recognized master craftsman with over 50 years of expertise. He will teach you how to repair your piece with gold powder, using methods passed down through generations. While your work dries, enjoy traditional tea and sweets served in vessels personally crafted by the master. This quiet time offers a rare opportunity to ask him questions about his extensive work, including the restoration of Buddhist altars, the techniques behind Kintsugi, and the philosophies of Japan’s traditional crafts. Once completed, your restored vessel will be carefully packed in a wooden box, ready to be taken home as a meaningful keepsake from this special experience.
