Learn how to make elegant cut glass in the traditional Edo Kiriko style when visiting Tokyo. Create your own unique designs, and take home a little bit of Japanese culture!
I participated in an Edo Kiriko experience. At first, I was worried about whether I, as a beginner, would be able to actually create Edo Kiriko, but once I started, I found it to be a lot of fun thanks to the careful guidance I received.
I really appreciated the freedom to choose my own glass and select my favorite design. I do think I still need a lot of practice to improve my skills, but it was great to see the works of the master craftsman as well.
I definitely want to participate again!江戸切子体験へ参加しました。初めは素人の私が実際に江戸切子を作成できるのかなと不安でしたが、丁寧に教えてもらってやってみるととても楽しかったです。 グラスを自分で選べる自由さ、自分で好きなデザインを選べると言う点も大変気に入りました。 上手に作るためにはまだまだ練習が必要だとは思いましたが、巧みの技の先生の作品も見せてもらえとても良かったです。 またぜひ参加させていただきたいと思います。

I brought along a couple of friends who live overseas. They explained everything in a polite manner in both Japanese and English, so even as beginners, we were able to create something enjoyable and wonderful. I was really happy to see my friends so pleased.海外に住む友人夫婦をお連れしました。丁寧に日本語・英語で説明いただいたので初心者でも楽しく、素敵に作ることができました。友人夫婦にとても喜んでもらえて嬉しかったです。

This was my second time here with my son and my friend from Japan joined for her first time and we all loved it. We had an English speaking instructor who was very helpful and showed us step-by-step what we needed to do to make our design how we wanted it. We practiced on a separate glass and that was so helpful to improve our technique. The instructor gave us additional tips along the way. It's so nice to take home such a unique product from our time spent in Japan.
There is plenty of processing time.

I had heard that the staff would be kind and helpful based on reviews, but I was worried that with so many people, there might not be enough time to work at the stations. However, in reality, there was one instructor for every six students, and each student had their own workstation. The instruction was thorough and attentive, and there was plenty of time to work.

I participated with a total of five friends, including both American and Japanese friends. It was everyone's first time, but we enjoyed choosing glasses, selecting designs, and the entire experience. Even if we made mistakes, the unique flavors of handmade items created great memories. Everyone was incredibly focused, so time flew by!アメリカ人の友達と日本人の友達、合計5人で参加しました。全員初めてでしたが、グラス選び、デザイン選び、体験まで楽しむことができました。失敗しても手作りならではの味が出て良い思い出。全員ものすごく集中していたので、時間が経つのがあっという間でした！

I was able to practice thoroughly and immerse myself with peace of mind.
It was challenging, but I was able to focus and enjoy the experience, so I would like to try a different design next time.練習をしっかりさせてもらえて、安心して没頭出来ました
We enjoyed every minute of this workshop! The teacher was very informative and gave everyone personal attention, making suggestions and only too happy for us to continue practicing if we weren't confident of going onto our personal glass. At the end, she glamour shot our glasses, showing them off beautifully. We will definitely be back to try a harder design. Highly recommended!

The fourth and first graders experienced it. At first, I was worried about how it would turn out, but the staff taught them patiently without rushing, and they were able to complete their works on their own. The finished products turned out even better than I imagined. Although there were some mistakes, they turned out beautifully, and I was very satisfied.四年生と一年生の子供が体験しました。最初はどうなってしまうかなと心配していましたが、スタッフの方が焦らさずにしっかり教えてくださり、自分たちでちゃんと作品を仕上げることができました。出来上がりも想像以上によく、失敗してしまった箇所もありましたが素敵に出来上がり大満足でした。

The instructor was very kind, and although the design was difficult, I was able to complete it with their advice! I'm happy to have made a glass that I'm satisfied with. I will cherish it from now on (^^).教えてくれる方がとても親切で、難しいデザインでしたがアドバイスいただいたりして最後まで作ることができました！ 満足な出来のグラスができて嬉しいです。これから愛用していきます(^^)
I was looking forward to my first kiriko experience. After practicing a few times, it was straight to the main event. I received a brief explanation at first, but then I felt a bit abandoned. I think the enjoyment of the experience varies depending on the instructor.初めての切り子体験を楽しみにしてました。 練習を何度かし、直ぐ本番。 たんたんと最初に説明を受け そのあとは放置された印象。 教えてくれる方により 楽しさが違うと思いました。
This class was so much fun. Our sensei was amazing. We received excellent explanations & demonstrations to help us understand the process. I would highly recommend this class!!
I had the opportunity to experience the traditional Japanese craft of kiriko for the first time. Thank you for the thorough explanation. I'm glad that I was able to create a lovely piece by generating new ideas from my mistakes. If there is another opportunity, I would love to participate again.初めて日本の伝統文化切子の製作を体験させていただきました。 丁寧なご説明をいただきありがとうございました。失敗したところから新しいアイデアを生まれ、可愛い作品を出来上がって良かったです。 また機会がございましたらぜひよろしくお願い致します。

The young woman who helped me was kind and gentle. In contrast, what about the people at the shop on the first floor? At the end, I was able to take a photo, and it turned out beautifully.教えていただけた若い女の人が親切でやさしかったです。それに引き換え一階の売店にいた人達は？ 終わりに写真を撮らせていただけるのですが、きれいに写すことができました。

A little tricky to find the shop initially. Instructor was efficient & very patient with everyone. Lots of time to practice before you do your own glass which was great. Very enjoyable experience! ❤️
Group of 6 from Hawaii glass etching experience

We were concerned about doing this….as it is described as “glass etching”. Something we have not done ever in our life, but we decided to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised at the process. The instructor took us step by step to explain the technique of glass etching and he was to patient and calm during the whole process. I would definitely recommend this to all of my friends and family. It was just steps outside of the Asakusa train Station….so convenient.
