Absolutely superb, a wonderful way to learn about an age-old artistic custom.

Reviewed by: Lee D.

This was an outstanding experience. Traveling to Tokyo from the US for the first time, I really wanted to find an affordable kintsugi class, as I had read about the Japanese art of repairing ceramics with gold, highlighting flaws as beauty, and the metaphor is just so beautiful to me. I also have an art background and love learning how to preserve & repair rather than throw away.

The class was more than I could have hoped for. I booked with my husband, and brother and his girlfriend (both who live in Tokyo). The owners (husband and wife) were incredibly hospitable in their sweet little craft shop, even showed us their ceramics lab next door. They greeted us with homemade cakes and apple tea, as well as the rice crackers that we love. The class was very easy to follow, and all questions were answered with enthusiasm and demonstration (it was just the 4 of us learning kintsugi and one other person working on jewelry, so it felt totally like a private class). There is a bit of a language barrier that non-Japanese speakers should be aware of. We were lucky to have my brother and his girlfriend who both speak the language to translate when needed. Even if we didn't, though, I would still have done the class. So much of learning craft is just watching and doing, strict verbal communication is not necessary. I'd maybe just suggest learning how to ask the specific questions you know you'll have ahead of time so they can show you during the class.

All in all, only wonderful things to say about this class. Next time I am in Toyko, I'd love to try another one of their classes. :) Thanks so much for an awesome experience on our honeymoon!!!

A very authentic experience with wonderful people

Reviewed by: Joanna

I had the best time. The studio is very small and authentic. I got a lot of one on one time with the owners and they kindly helped me fix my own broken mug. They ran over by nearly an hour to help me finish. They were both so kind and attentive and really good at what they do. I would recommend this to anyone! Please go try it out. It's a nice change of pace from visiting downtown Tokyo.

My sister was visiting me in Tokyo and we took this one-day trial class together. Our teachers were knowledgeable, friendly, and spoken enough English that we (with very little Japanese language skills) were able to communicate without any issues. We had a great time.

Fun Sumie Ink Painting Lesson in Tokyo with English Speaking Instructor

Fun with Yuta!

Reviewed by: Granger

Sumi-e is much more than a painting activity, it's a glimpse into another world...another way of seeing... This 2 hour-ish experience only scratches the surface, so if you don't have 2-3 years to explore Sumi-e it is probably a great alternative! Yuta was a fun, encouragingly positive instructor with a good heart. The studio is an absolutely gorgeous workspace. You are surrounded by a master's work for inspiration.

Fun and easy

Reviewed by: Ali

The venue is small and a little hard to find but the staff is really nice and personable, with just four stations. We arrived a little late but the staff didn't mind. They speak enough English to explain the steps and also have small talk. We learned a little about the history and the process of plastic food and had a blast with the actual project. It was very laid back and relaxed. The process was easily explained and the staff made each step easy to follow as well. It went faster than we expected. I'd do it again!

Great beginners class on Kintsugi!

Reviewed by: Yorsh

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our class with Kuge crafts! We started with introductions and some lovely home made cake. Then we got to chose our cups that we will work on and keep. Would recommend to pick a cup with a bigger chip as that would mean a bigger part of the cup will be fixed.

The process was easy to follow as Yoshi showed step by step examples. They also provided the tools and materials (i.e. putty, gold dust, resin etc) which made it a convenient class.

At the end, we received photos taken during the class and a list of tools and materials we can purchase at Tokyu Hands if we wanted to continue back home. The teachers were both friendly, inviting us to write back if we had more questions.

A great class and would highly recommend for a memorable experience!

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＞

It was easy and fun! It became a great memory. 簡単楽しい！良い思い出となりました

Reviewed by: Patchi

I had a few hours to spare in Asakusa, so I decided to participate. First, we chose our glasses. You can opt for colored glasses for an additional fee. After that, we decided on the design, practiced, and then it was showtime. I was really anxious about getting hurt, but that worry was unnecessary; it was much safer and easier than I imagined.

I don't think the results were particularly beautiful, but it was so much fun, and I was very satisfied. I can already tell that every time I drink from this glass, I'll remember this experience... and I'm really looking forward to it!

(The glass shop on the first floor was also very lovely. I definitely want to purchase something there for a special event.)

浅草で数時間の空きができたので参加。
まずはグラス選びから。追加料金で色付きのグラスを選ぶこともできます。その後はデザインを決め、練習→本番。怪我をしないかとても不安でしたがその心配は不要で、想像より安全で平易な作業でした。
決してきれいな出来映えではなかったと思いますが、とにかく楽しくて大満足。このグラスでお酒を飲む度に今回の体験を思い出すんだろうなあ...と今からとても楽しみです！

（一階にあるグラスショップもとても素敵でした。大切なイベントの際にぜひ購入してみたいです）

Great introductory experience

Reviewed by: David

My wife and I loved our beginner session with Kuge crafts. Yoshiichiro-san and Yoshiko-san were wonderful hosts and took the time to explain the process and let us take as long as we needed to perfect our repairs. Initially, I wanted to repair a fully shattered object rather than a small chip but actually repairing the two chips on my cup still took around 2 hours to do well, so any larger repairs would be over ambitious for a complete beginner. I would recommend this session to anyone interested in Kintsugi and enjoy your bonus cake and tea as well!

Wonderful Experience

Reviewed by: Paula

The venue was easy to find, the signage outside made it clear we had arrived to our destination. The helpers were extremely sweet and enthusiastic about the history and process of food sample making. It took perhaps 30 minutes in total for the session-we chose to do the Full Size Parfait with 6 Pieces of Fruit. It was very quick. All of the pieces were pre-made. All we focused on was creating the parfait base and swirl. Very straightforward, fun little craft, also great souvenir to take home. Was just under the impression the process would be a bit more hands on - perhaps with the other options available? Interesting experience, would recommend to others to try at least once.

Fun Sumie Ink Painting Lesson in Tokyo with English Speaking Instructor

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: William

I would highly recommend taking this class. I love sumi-e ink paintings from before, for their graphic powerful qualities. Back home I had painted a bit from before, making myself familiar with the medium and some techniques - but - this was exactly the sort of introduction I was hoping for.

The teacher was super friendly, helpful and fun. He thought me different techniques to use, stories about how sumi-e came to Japan, and the philosophy behind the art form. Our talks were super inspiring and I know I will take up painting once I'm back home again later this year. There, all my washi papers will await me, bought in Tokyo at a great art store I got directions to after the class.

Really, thank you!
