Our family of four had the opportunity to experience making pure silver spoons. It was a lot of fun to create our original spoons using traditional tools and techniques in the craftsman's workshop. It was an experience that made me truly appreciate the beauty of "authentic" craftsmanship. We received very careful guidance and gained a lot of knowledge about the properties of silver and Japanese traditions. I was also impressed by how easily the spoon glided into the really hard ice cream. We are… Our family of four had the opportunity to experience making pure silver spoons.

Thank you for a wonderful time! 家族4人で、純銀スプーンづくりの体験をさせていただきました。職人さんの工房で、伝統の道具と技術でオリジナルのスプーンを作ることができ、とても楽しかったです。「本物」は素晴らしいな、と実感する体験でした。とても丁寧にご指導いただき、銀の特性や日本の伝統についても、たくさんの知識を得ることができました。また、本当にカチカチのアイスクリームにスプーンがスッと入っていくのも感動でした。早速、家族で愛用させて頂いています。楽しいひとときをありがとうございました❗

初めての純銀スプーン作り。

ささゆか
お会いした職人さんは
第一印象からとても優しく明るい
感じの良い方で安心をして
体験が出来ました。
作品を見させて頂きながら
銀についてや職についての歴史を
聞かせて頂けました。
作業は金槌を使って
純銀スプーンに柄を
トントンと打ち込む事をしました。
文字を打ち込む際、
打ち込む点がずれてしまい
文字がぶれてしまったりして
なかなかコツの要る作業でもありましたが
基本的にはトントンと打つ作業のみでした。
銀の熱伝導について知るために
氷にスプーンを刺す体験は驚きました。
純銀を触るのは初めての事で
今も純銀を持っている事に
嬉しく…
