金継ぎ教室 一日体験 大切な器を美しく修理する伝統技術 <南阿佐ヶ谷>by 手仕事屋久家

I recommend it for those who want to repair their important dishes that have been chipped. 大切な器が欠けてしまって直したい人にもオススメです

Reviewed by: ユウナ

I brought my own pottery and had a wonderful experience. I'm completely satisfied with the repairs; I'm glad I did it. I think it would be great if the website allowed comments about bringing your own pottery during the application process, so I hope they consider this improvement. For some reason, the images I attached during the application were not confirmed by the other party.

However, I was told that anything can be fixed, and I'm happy that my precious pottery was repaired. While enjoying tea in a relaxed atmosphere, I received a man-to-man lecture, and the instructor carefully handled the parts that needed to be solidified with plaster. I experienced the process starting from the point of sanding. It took a full two and a half hours, but the instructor supported me with my clumsy parts and praised me in various ways, which kept me in a good mood to continue. We also enjoyed various conversations about pottery along the way. Just chatting would have been enjoyable enough.

The pottery in the photo was originally broken in half with a piece missing, but it has been completely restored. After drying for another two weeks, I will wash off the excess powder and it will be finished. I'm really looking forward to it. They also prepared containers for taking the pottery home, and since all the tools were provided, the experience was very satisfying compared to the ease of it. The aftercare is also thorough, so I'm already considering doing this again. I highly recommend this not only for the kintsugi experience but also for anyone who wants to repair their precious pottery.

器を持ち込んで体験しました。すっかり直って大満足、やってよかった。申し込み時にサイトでは器の持ち込みをコメントできるといいと思います、改善を検討してください。申し込み時に添付した画像も何故か先方で確認できていませんでした。
でも、何でも直せるという事でした、大切な器が修理できて喜んでいます。和やかにお茶をしながらman-to-manでレクチャーを受け、欠けた部分を石膏で固めところまでは先生がしっかりとやってくださって、削るところから体験しました。2時間半たっぷりかかりましたが、不器用な部分は先生がフォロー、色々褒めてくださるので、良い気分で続けられます。途中色々な器に関する四方山話も愉しく。お話だけでも良いぐらいです。写真の器、元は真っ二つに割れて一部欠けていましたがすっかり戻っています。あと2週間乾かしてから余計な粉を洗い流して、完成。待ち遠しい限りです。持ち帰り用に容器の準備もあり、道具は全て貸してくださるので、お手軽さに比べて満足度が高くて、充実した体験です。アフターフォローもしっかりしているので次もまたと考えているくらいです。金継ぎ体験だけでなく、大切な器を直したい人にもオススメです。

江戸切子体験 十数種のグラスと数十もの柄サンプルから選べる 講座付きのプランもあり<浅草駅 徒歩3分!創吉浅草店>

I want to challenge myself again and again! 何度も挑戦したくなる!

Reviewed by: Moana

I had my first experience with Edo Kiriko. I struggled throughout, but thanks to the practice I was allowed to have and the careful instruction I received, I was able to express a beautiful Edo Kiriko pattern. Although it turned out to be far from the design I had envisioned, I ended up with a unique piece that I am very satisfied with. If I have the opportunity, I would love to try again—I really got hooked!

 初めて江戸切子体験をしました。終始苦戦しましたが、練習をさせていただくことができ、また丁寧に教えてくださったため、素敵な江戸切子の模様を表現できました。
 思い描いていたデザインとは程遠いものとなりましたが、逆に個性あふれる作品ができ、とても満足しています。
 もし機会があれば、再挑戦したいと考えるぐらい、ハマりました!

Edo Kiriko Experience 初江戸切子体験

Reviewed by: Saki

I was a bit worried that Edo Kiriko would be difficult, but the craftsman taught us carefully, so even beginners could enjoy it! I was very satisfied with the beautiful cup I made. I thought it would be nice to give it as a gift to friends or family for anniversaries or birthdays. I want to go back and make more, and I would recommend it to my friends. Thank you!

江戸切子は難易度高そうだな〜と少し心配だったのですが、
職人さんが丁寧に教えてくださるので
素人でも楽しみながらできました!
素敵なコップが作れて大満足です
記念日や誕生日に友達、家族にプレゼントするのもいいなって思いました。

A fulfilling time 充実した時間

Reviewed by: 一期一会

I had the opportunity to experience Edo Kiriko with my two children. The kids didn't know much about Edo Kiriko and seemed to have low expectations. It was supposed to last an hour and a half, but once we started, they enjoyed it with serious expressions. The time flew by. After a year and a half of not being able to go anywhere due to COVID-19, spending an hour here was very fulfilling and created wonderful memories.

子供2人と一緒に江戸切子体験をさせて頂きました。子供達は、また、江戸切子を知らず、余り期待していなかったようです。1時間半もーといった具合でしたが、いざ!始まると、真剣な眼差しで楽しんでいました。時間もあっという間に過ぎてしまいました。コロナの中どこにも行けない1年半でしたが、ここでの1時間あったは、とても充実した時間を過ごすことが出来また、楽しい思い出となりなました。

It's a customer business. 客商売です

Reviewed by: 無縁だ

I was guided in early, but it seemed like the staff was busy working. There was no greeting, and they remained silent the entire time. The young person who guided the experience was also working while providing instructions, which felt insincere. This is the lowest standard for customer service. If they are doing this to survive, they might be skilled workers, but they should think a bit more about their approach. If they can't do that, they should stop trying to make a quick buck with such experiences.

まず早めに案内されましたが、お店の方らしき方か作業されてました。
挨拶もなく、終始無言。
体験も若い方が教えてくれましたが、作業しながらと不誠実な対応。
接客業としては最低。生き残る為にやってるなら、職人かもしれないがもう少し考えるべき。
それが出来ないなら、こんな体験で小銭稼ぎを止めるべき。

Reply from activity provider

Thank you for visiting us.
We sincerely apologize for the lack of greeting. We will confirm the facts and strive to ensure that this does not happen again in the future.
Regarding the work during the experience, we have received many positive comments from customers, such as "I'm happy to see the craftsman's valuable work" and "I can understand the difference in techniques by experiencing it myself."
If you do not wish to have the work during your experience, we would appreciate it if you could let us know during your next reservation or at the time of the experience.
We look forward to your next visit.

この度はご来店いただきありがとうございます。
ご挨拶がなかったとのこと、大変申し訳ございません。事実関係を確認し、今後このようなことのないように努めて参ります。

Reviewed by: 旅行好き

I made it for the first time. The teacher praised me a lot, and I was able to enjoy making it! Time flew by, and I was worried I wouldn't finish in an hour, but I managed to complete it somehow! I arrived about five minutes early and was able to choose the glasses and other items in advance, so I felt like I made it just in time (laughs). It's a great memory, so I recommend it! ♪

初めて作りました。先生がたくさん褒めてくれて楽しく作ることが出来ました!
時間はあっという間に過ぎていて1時間過ぎて終わるか不安になりましたが何とか終わることが出来ました!5分程早めに行ってグラスなどを先に選ばせてもらってたので間に合った感はありますが(笑)

I didn't have as much time as I thought. I should have come up with more specific designs beforehand. However, it was a first-time experience, and my family had a great time together. When we got home, we quickly toasted together! It was a drink that tasted better than usual.

It was a very enjoyable experience. とっても楽しい体験でした

Reviewed by: 旅好き

I had some points saved up, so I went to try the Edo Kiriko experience that I had been interested in for a while. There were many accounts saying it was difficult, so I was worried about whether I could do it well, and I decided to challenge myself with a clear glass that didn't require an additional fee. During practice, I found it difficult to align the center, and I thought I might not be able to make it beautifully. However, as I continued, I gradually started to grasp the techniques, and by the end, I gained a bit of confidence. The finished glass turned out to be quite satisfying, and I would like to challenge myself next time with a more difficult colored glass. I'm also grateful to the teacher who taught me patiently. You can also take photos!

ポイントが貯まっていたので、以前から気になっていた江戸切子体験に行ってきました。難しいという体験談が多かったので、上手くできるか心配で、追加料金のかからない無色のグラスで挑戦しました。練習も中心を合わせるのが難しく、やはり綺麗には出来ないかもしれないと思ったのですが、やっているうちに段々コツが掴めてきて、終わる頃には少し自信がついてきます。出来上がったグラスは満足いく出来栄えで、次は難易度の高い色付きのグラスで挑戦してみたいと思っています。丁寧に教えてくれた先生にも感謝です。写真も撮ってもらえますよ。

The instructor is not kind. 講師が親切ではない

Reviewed by: こむぎ

The instructor was a younger man. He spoke mechanically about the necessary things, and I didn't feel any desire to entertain the participants or help them create good works. His teaching style was bland and unkind, making it feel like I was just trying to figure things out on my own. Additionally, I wondered if the instructor lacked skills, as he didn't tailor his teaching to each individual and was just there.

講師の方は若めの男性でした。必要なことを機械的に話すだけで、体験者を楽しませようとかいい作品を作ってもらおうという気持ちは感じられませんでした。教え方も淡白で不親切なため、やり方がよくわからない中で作り上げた感じです。
また講師自身は技術がないのか?、一人一人に合わせて教えることもなく、ただいるだけでした。

I participated because I wanted to celebrate his birthday. Since I was there, I chose a colored glass that I liked; I picked one for 900 yen, and he chose one for 1600 yen. The more expensive glasses started at 300 yen, and there were also free options (colorless). There were many designs to reference, and even though I didn't prepare anything in advance, I felt at ease during the experience because the instructor kindly answered even the smallest questions. The finished piece is a bit crooked since I'm an amateur, but I have grown attached to it and it has become one of my favorites. I definitely want to participate again!

彼の誕生日記念にしたいと思い参加しました。
せっかくなので色付きの気に入ったグラスを選び、私は900円、かれは1600円のものを選びました。
お値段のかかるグラスは300円〜で、無料のもの(無色)もありました。
デザインも参考となるものが沢山あり、特に何も予習せず参加しましたが、先生に質問すると小さなことでも親切に答えてくださるので安心して体験できました(*^_^*)
出来上がった作品は、素人ですので線も歪ですが、愛着が湧いてお気に入りです。
また是非参加したいです!

I felt the depth of traditional crafts. 伝統工芸の奥深さを実感

Reviewed by: ウォンバット

You can create your own Edo Kiriko, a traditional craft! I was excited to participate.
On the day of the experience, there were six of us, including myself.
The instructor explained the cutting techniques and the machine in a clear and thorough manner.
First, we practiced with a practice glass. At first, I was a bit nervous, thinking that if I applied too much pressure or cut too much, it might break. However, as I got used to it, I became bolder in my cutting.
Then came the real thing! I drew the pattern I wanted to carve on the glass in the shape and color I chose, and started cutting. Before I knew it, I felt like a true craftsman.
I concentrated so hard that I wondered when was the last time I focused this much.
The finished glass became a one-of-a-kind piece of traditional craft.

伝統工芸である江戸切子を自ら作ることができる! ワクワクして参加しました。
当日は私たちを含め6人で体験スタート。
削り方や機械の説明を分かりやすく丁寧に教えてくださりました。
まずは練習用のグラスで体験。あまり力を入れすぎたり削りすぎたりしたら割れてしまうのでは…と、最初はおっかなビックリでしたが、慣れてくると大胆に削ることができるようになりました。
そして本番!自分の選んだ形、色のグラスに削りたい柄を描き込み、削り始めました。いつの間にかすっかり職人気分になっていました。
こんなに集中したのは何年ぶりだろうかと感じるくらい全力で集中しました。
出来上がったグラスはオンリーワンの伝統工芸作品となりました。

I'm satisfied that I could participate easily. 気軽に参加できて満足してます

Reviewed by: Qitai

I participated for the first time with my girlfriend. There were two other participants besides us, making a total of four people in the experience. Including the instructor, everyone was wearing masks.

On the table, there were examples of works displayed, and we chose the color and shape of our cups. The blue and red glass cups had an additional fee of about 1,000 to 2,000 yen. I wanted to choose a colored cup without the extra charge, but it seemed a bit expensive, and I was told that the difficulty of carving would increase slightly, so I opted for a transparent cup available at the basic fee this time.

There was a stain on the cup that couldn't be removed, but when I mentioned it to the instructor, they gave me a new cup. I noticed the stain after I started carving, but they offered to let me keep the stained cup as well, and we ended up making three cups together.

Carving neatly is quite a challenge, and the quality of the cups was clearly amateurish, but it was a good experience.

彼女と2人で初めて参加しました。
私たち以外の参加者が2人いらっしゃって計4人での体験でした。先生1人も含め、皆マスク着用してました。

机の上に作品例が並べてあり、コップの色や形などを選びます。
青や赤のガラスコップは追加料金が1-2千円ほどかかります。
追加料金がなければ色の付いているコップにしたかったですが、若干高く思えたのと、削る難易度が少し上がるということだったので、今回は基本料金で選べる透明なコップにしました。

コップにとれない汚れが付いていたのですが、先生に言ったら新しいコップをくれました。
削り始めてから汚れに気付いたのですが、汚れたコップもプレゼントします、と言っていただき、2人で3つのコップを作成しました。

綺麗に削るのは至難の業で、コップの出来栄えは明らかに素人のものでしたが、良い体験でした。

It became a great summer memory. 良い夏の思い出になりました

Reviewed by: かめこ

Amid the atmosphere of travel restrictions, I participated with the hope of creating some family memories. The classroom had measures in place for infection control, and since each person worked individually at their machines, I felt that we wouldn't be too close to each other.

It was my first experience with Edo Kiriko, and the teacher's explanations were clear and enjoyable, making the time fly by. While choosing the glass and selecting existing designs, I added a little twist to create something original, resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind Edo Kiriko glass.

I've already started using it at home as my personal glass. Every time I use it, memories come flooding back, and I enjoy the shared conversation about the Edo Kiriko experience.

旅行も自粛ムードが漂う中、せめて何か家族の思い出が作れたらという思いで参加しました。
教室は感染症対策が施されていましたし、一人一人機械に向かって作業をするので、受講者同士がそんなに密になることもないと思います。

初めての江戸切子体験でしたが、先生の説明もわかりやすく、楽しく、時間があっという間に過ぎました。グラス選び、既存のデザインを選びつつ少しアレンジしてオリジナリティーを出しているので、本当に世界でひとつの江戸切子グラスが完成しました。

早速家でマイグラスとして使っています。
グラスを使う度に思い出が巡り、江戸切子体験という共通の会話も楽しんでいます。

Edo Kiriko, my first challenge!! It was fun!! 江戸切子 初挑戦!! 楽しかったです!!

Reviewed by: aikokushufu

I finally tried my hand at Edo Kiriko, which I had been interested in for a long time. I had planned to participate with a friend, but due to health reasons during this pandemic, they couldn't join me. I decided to go alone. The instructor was young and had a clean appearance. They explained everything calmly, and the two-hour class flew by. The glasses are an additional charge (ranging from 300 yen to several thousand yen). At first, I wasn't sure how much pressure to apply, and I ended up going outside the lines... but as I continued to carve, I started to get the hang of it. The lines that went too far out were properly corrected by the instructor, who quickly and beautifully fixed them. Impressive! It was like magic. I wonder how they did that? One important thing: I forgot my glasses, and since it was detailed work, they were essential. Please be careful, everyone. This Edo Kiriko, a traditional craft from the Edo period, allows us to experience the joy of focusing on one thing for two hours. I plan to cherish my creation moving forward. Overall, despite the pandemic, it was a lot of fun!

前々から興味があった江戸切子に初挑戦。2人で参加する予定が、このコロナ禍の折り、友人は体調が理由で不参加。一人でしたが、参加することにしました。先生は若くて、清潔感のある方。淡々と説明してくださり、2時間の講習はあっと言う間に過ぎました。グラスは別料金です。(300円から数千円まで)最初は力の入れ具合がわからなかったり、線がはみ出してしまったり、、、ですが、刻んでいくうちにコツがわかってきました。あまりにもはみ出してしまった線は、先生がちゃんと修正してくれました。チャチャっと素早く綺麗に修復。流石!まるで魔法みたい。どういう風にやったんだろ〜?大切な事。眼鏡を忘れてしまい、細かい作業でしたので、必需品でした。皆さんも気をつけてください。江戸時代の伝統工芸を今に伝えるこの江戸切子。2時間の間、一つの事に集中することの楽しさをまた実感しました。自分の作品はこれからも大切に保持していこうと思っています。とにかく、このコロナ禍の折りではありましたが、楽しかった!です。

It's not that my hands are shaking, but the straight lines that seemed easy became shaky, and I was nervous that the glass might break if I carved too deeply. It ended so quickly. The teacher was kind and good at giving compliments, so I was able to enjoyably complete it, even though I wasn't very skilled. I recommend it even for those who are clumsy!

Even someone as clumsy as me was able to manage it somehow! 不器用な私でも何とか出来ました!

Reviewed by: ゴンちゃん

At first, I thought, "There's no way I can carve glass!" and "What if I mess up and can't fix it?" I hesitated, but I'm glad I decided to go for it.

There was an explanation and practice at the beginning, and even if things didn't go perfectly during the actual session, the instructor helped to some extent, and in the end, I was able to create something!

Achieving symmetry or carving the same pattern to the same size can be quite challenging, so sticking to a simpler design might actually work better!

It's a unique experience that you can't have just anywhere, so I highly recommend it. The classroom is located above a shop, so you can not only create but also purchase authentic Edo Kiriko glassware. Just browsing the store is a treat for the eyes!

The glasses are neatly packed in a box and placed in a paper bag, making them easy to take home! I think they would make great souvenirs for foreigners, and I encourage Japanese people to try it at least once! Highly recommended! (*^^*)

初めは「ガラスを削るなんて無理!」「失敗したら取り返しがつかないのではないか!」と思って躊躇していましたが、思いきって申込んで良かったです。
最初に説明と練習があり、また本番で上手くいかなくても、先生がある程度は修正してくださり、最終的にはなんとか形にすることができました!
左右対称とか同じ模様を同じ大きさに削っていくとかはかなり難しいかもしれないので、無難な柄にしておくと意外とイケるかも!!
専門の場所でないとできない体験なのでオススメです。教室の下階はお店になっているので、作るだけでなく本物の江戸切子を購入することもできます。お店を見るだけでも目の保養になります!
グラスはきちんと箱に入れて手提げの紙袋に入れてくれるので、持ち帰りにも便利です!外国人の方はお土産にしてもよいと思いますし、日本人の方でもぜひ一度は味わってみるとよいと思います!オススメです(*^^*)

金継ぎ教室 一日体験 大切な器を美しく修理する伝統技術 <南阿佐ヶ谷>by 手仕事屋久家

Authentic Japanese craft experience

Reviewed by: MMm

The hosts were so welcoming and English was no problem. I learnt their craft from true artists who genuinely want to share this skill with others. The studio was great, the snack delicious and the whole experience truly memorable. I left with my own piece of Kintsugi and Japan’s culture.

Great workshop with lovely instructors

Reviewed by: SBruisten

This workshop was amazing! One of my best experiences while in Japan.
You only get to learn the basics and repair one small cup, but the instructors let you know what to buy in order to do more kintsugi in the future. You also get shown many examples which are very inspiring. I really feel like fixing up more stuff in the future, which will be easy since we received a set of instructions to follow at home as well!

Edo Kiriko Glass Cutting Experience in Asakusa

Outstanding experience!

Reviewed by: Sarah

Edo Kiriko dates back to 1836 and was recognized as a traditional Tokyo craft in 1985.

Using clear or colored glass, artisans sketch a design and use a grinder to cut intricate patterns (including flowers, leaves, bamboo woven baskets, and more modern interpretations).

In this one-hour workshop at Sokichi in Asakusa, you’ll have the chance to learn how Edo Kiriko is created. You start with practicing on a sample glass, then choose and sketch your design and cut your design.

At the end, you’ll have a chance to photograph your finished masterpiece.

Instruction and guidance was given in English and Japanese.

Outstanding opportunity to experience a traditional craft and a unique souvenir of your time in Japan, highly recommended!!

  • Choose your favorite design to copy or make your own!!

  • Practice on a sample glass first before creating your masterpiece (Instructor example on the left)

  • Practice cutting glass for about 30 minutes before trying the real thing…

  • Finished example made by class instructor…

  • Handy English worksheets will teach you how to make different designs you can use on your glass

Kintsugi Class Tokyo

Reviewed by: Martha J

This class was absolutely terrific! The teachers are talented artists who also speak great English! The class was very thorough and they have considered every aspect of it- full demonstration, written instructions, and a bilingual shopping list so students can purchase their own materials. The tea and pastry at the beginning of class was a nice touch too. Can’t recommend this experience ENOUGH! The traditional teacup I chose to repair is from the late Edo period (also explained in class), and is a wonderful momento from my trip. Thank you so much!!

Tokyo Kintsugi Workshop

Reviewed by: Katherine

This was a well planned and facilitated experience by two delightful artisans. The kintsugi art is meditative and allows creativity and self expression. I look at “ broken” things differently now, and am eager to try the technique on my own with the materials I was able to purchase with the advice of the artisans. They teach the technique with patience and care that participants understand the art and culture of Japan more deeply. It was a peak experience for me, both unusual and heart warming.

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Now I know how the plastic food I see everywhere is made.

Reviewed by: Jay

The operator of this class was amazing. The class wasn’t long so it kept my day more open than others, that let me fit in more activities on the day. I learned a bit about the history of Samples and got to make a souvenir that ‘ thanks to the instructors help ‘ came out perfect. Also this was a great place to get souvenirs for everyone back home. Not many souvenirs say Japan better than a plastic sushi key chain.

Dear Jay

Thank you for visiting this store.
We are glad if the food sample experience becomes one of our memories in Japan.
Also, we are waiting for you when you come to Japan.
