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 was moved!! 感動しました!!

Reviewed by: じぇいこ

I never thought I could make cut glass myself, so I had a lot of fun feeling like a craftsman. The instructor was very thorough in teaching and even helped with adjustments, making it a memorable cup!

It was truly a great experience!

切子なんて自分で出来るなんて、思っていなかったので、職人になった気分で楽しくできました。
先生も丁寧に教えてくださり、手直しもしていただいたりで、記念のコップになりました!

本当に良い体験でした!

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>

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。

It became a wonderful memory! 素敵な記念になりました!

Reviewed by: yun

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。

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'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。

More challenging and fun than I imagined! 想像より難しく、楽しい!

Reviewed by: bib

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!

手が震えているわけではないのですか簡単に見えた直線がガクガクになったり、深く彫るとガラスが割れてしまうのではとドキドキしたり、あっというまに終わってしまいました
先生が優しく褒め上手なので下手ながらに楽しく完成させる事が出来ました

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(*^^*)

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

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.

I made two pieces, which took about an hour, and afterward, I was able to enjoy a selection of drinks like coffee, tea, and yuzu tea, along with some sweets. The cups for the drinks and sweets were also handmade Tokoname ware, which added a lovely touch. The staff were kind and taught me patiently according to my wishes, and I was able to create the plates and tumblers I had envisioned. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished pieces in two months!

You can tell he is very enthusiastic and enjoying this experience. Just an extra note, we communicated without any issue in English.

You get to choose your five pieces of colourful assorted accessories for your sundae. The cup of the sundae and the colourful jam at the bottom will be provided. You have to first fill up the base of the sundae cup, then the twirling cream at the top and place your assortments as you wish. The staff carefully checked every steps of the process, also fix any errors professionally. You will be guarenteed a outstanding food sample even for your first try.

As for the advice for future participants, since it takes a while for the food sample to dry off, it is better you plan your activites accordingly. Although, the staff did carefully stabilised the food samples in a provided paper box (in a very meticulous way, props to that) and bag so it was not an issue for us.

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Very friendly staff, worthy every moment spent here.

Reviewed by: Calvin

The overal experience with this activity is marvelous. The staff is very friendly and patience in introducing the activity, as well as some history of the Food Sample Culture in Japan, which is a bonus point. You can tell he is very enthusiastic and enjoying this experience. Just an extra note, we communicated without any issue in English.

You get to choose your five pieces of colourful assorted accessories for your tart and squeeze the "cream" of the tart. The tart base and the accessories are provided. You will be informed for every tiny details to produce a perfect looking tart. I am sure you will be amazed how meticulous it can be for such a simple-looking task.

As for the advice for future participants, since it takes a while for the food sample to dry off, it is better you plan your activites accordingly. Although, the staff did carefully stabilised the food samples in a provided paper box and bag so it was not an issue for us.

It became a memorable experience. 記念になりました

Reviewed by: よーこ

I gradually got used to it and enjoyed getting better at it. Even though I participated alone, when I immersed myself in the creation process, I didn't mind the other groups.

自分でもだんだん慣れてきて上手くなるのが楽しめました。ひとり参加ですが、製作に没頭すると他のグループの方等気になりません。

Amazing

Reviewed by: Ireland

Was such a lovely experience with amazing little touches from the hosts including delicious homemade apple tea ! The hosts were very friendly and had great English and were very exited to teach us the tradition of their culture ! Everything is done with care and to perfection ! Even the way they wrap up your piece and pop it in a bag is done so thoughtfully ! Would highly recommend this experience if your in Tokyo. It’s also a great way to meet and chat to some locals

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

Fantastic experience of Japanese repair technique

Reviewed by: Arjen

This was one of my most valuable experiences in Japan in four and a half months of staying. You are very warmly welcomed with a drink (there is more than enough for a couple of drinks) and a homemade cake.

The couple helps you out working on your piece of choice (or your own cup! I brought my own cup which I found in the woods of Chichibu), explain which tool is for what and how to do what you are about to do. You can do this at your own pace and you do not have to fear not having stable hands or not being able to pull it off. They will always support you in getting a beautiful piece to take home.

They will show you what you need to buy from Tokyu Hands to execute the technique at home and give you a tour through their works and their workshop in the building on the left.

If you're in Tokyo, got some spare time or want to learn a Japanese craft, definitely recommended to go here! English is no problem!
