Kintsugi Workshop in Tokyo: Repair Pottery with Gold at Kuge Crafts Studio

Participating in a cultural tradition

Reviewed by: Alaska

We thoroughly enjoyed our kintsugi lesson with Kuge Crafts. In a snug little studio our class of four students were charmed by the instructor husband and wife team. The lesson was well planned and timed. We chose our small nicked vessels from an array of antique cups and immediately set about repairing and decorating them with golden lacquer. The results were so pleasing. and well-packed for travel home.

Kintsugi Class in Tokyo - Hands-On Pottery Repair with Gold Powder

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Traveling fan

This class was a highlight of our trip. My 18 yo daughter and 21 yo son also enjoyed the kintsugi experience very much. Class was just the 3 of us, was very well run and we were able to do all steps of the repair process. Our still wet teacups were packaged very well and came home in one piece without shifting out of place.

On the way to Tsuboya Yachimun Street, I stopped by and made a reservation. I was looking forward to sightseeing, but since I have participated in craft events before, this bingata experience was perfect for my elementary school child! I think it will be a wonderful memory since we can keep the coaster after returning home. Thank you for kindly and patiently teaching us despite the sudden reservation.

We challenged ourselves as a family. Once we chose our favorite weft yarn, they taught us carefully in a one-on-one setting. It's enjoyable for everyone, from adults to elementary school students. While I was impressed by the loom system, it was a one-hour session that required mental effort, as it's easy to make mistakes if you let your guard down.

Kintsugi Workshop in Tokyo: Repair Pottery with Gold at Kuge Crafts Studio

Wonderful even for the unexcited ones!

Reviewed by: Cass

My 80 year old father was just going to humor me, but the lovely couple who run Kuge crafts won him over instantly. They were just wonderful and so willing to share their love of kintsugi. We were greeted with beautiful snacks and tea and were able to pick our item from a selection. We were then told how old our items were. Ours were from the Edo period. We got right to work repairing the miniature chips, it’s a beginner class! Our cups turned out so beautiful and my father surprisingly got very into decorating his! He said it was his favorite activity we’d done in our two week trip. I can’t wait to come back for another visit! They also gave us a very helpful list of all the items needed to do this at home. I was able to get everything at Hands and can’t wait to attempt this again.
Thank you so much for such a lovely afternoon!

Kintsugi Workshop in Tokyo: Repair Pottery with Gold at Kuge Crafts Studio

Delightful!!

Reviewed by: Carolee

I spent a lovely couple of hours learning about and trying my hand at kintsugi with Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko. They make quite a team!

We received snacks to start and tea throughout. We choose from among a dozen chipped cups to repair and then walked through the process at a leisurely pace. They sent us home with enough information (plus a tiny custom brush) to try repairs at home.

Kintsugi can be a much more creative craft than I realized. I highly recommend this class for both the interaction Y. and Y. and the activity.

Electric potter's wheel experience 電動ろくろ体験

Reviewed by: しふみママ

After touring the castle town of Sasayama, we drove to the electric pottery wheel experience. We were a bit rushed as we were close to our reservation time, but we were able to use the restroom, and the experience began. The four of us, a couple doing hand-throwing and my child and I, all challenged ourselves to make tea bowls. The electric pottery wheel experience ended surprisingly quickly, but it was a fun experience. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished products.

Group of 6 from Hawaii glass etching experience

Reviewed by: Char

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.

Creating unique Shisa (Okinawan guardian lion-dogs) 個性のでるシーサー作り

I was very happy to be able to create a Shisa as a keepsake! Since I could decide on the balance and size of the beard based on my own ideas, I feel like I was able to make an original piece that reflected my personality, rather than ending up with the exact same Shisa as my friend who went with me. Also, chatting with the person who taught us how to make the Shisa was really enjoyable; before I knew it, three hours had passed! I'm really looking forward to it arriving at my home in 2-3 months! 🌺☀️

シーサーという形に残るものを思い出として作ることができたのがとても嬉しかったです！
ヒゲのバランスや大きさを自分の考えでつけることができるため、一緒に行った友達と全く同じシーサーにはならず、個性の出たオリジナルのものが作れたなと感じています。
また、シーサーの作り方を教えてくださった方とのお喋りもとても楽しく、気づけば3時間経っているほどでした💦
2.3ヶ月後家に届くことをとても楽しみにしています🌺☀️

Toshie Masubuchi was a wealth of knowledge in Kintsugi, as well as being a warm and detailed teacher throughout the lesson. This was my first time engaging in this art form and Toshi was prepared to teach with detailed handouts (in English), thorough verbal descriptions and visual hands-on examples at each step.

She welcomed me into her art space with a hot cup of tea on a cold morning and was patient and helpful during the entire lesson. I will treasure the memories of this class and recommend them to anyone visiting Tokyo.

I had a great time! 楽しい時間でした！

Reviewed by: たんたん

I participated with a friend. The instructor's explanations were thorough, so I was able to participate without worry, even as a beginner.

One slight disappointment was that one of the instructors seemed to be juggling three lessons at once, which led to longer waiting times. (They looked very busy, and I felt a bit sorry for them.) Also, it mentioned that the music was selected by the DJ, but I thought it would have been more enjoyable if there had been more variety in the music, as it was the same artist playing for a long time.

The experience was fun, so I would like to visit again. Thank you!

お友達と2人で参加しました。
講師の方の説明も丁寧で初めてでも心配なくできました。

少し残念だったのが1人の講師の方が3つのレッスンを掛け持って教える感じになってしまい、中断して待たされる時間が長かったです。(とても忙しそうで少し可哀想になってしまいました。)
あと説明にDJがセレクトした音楽と書いてありましたが、途中からずーっと同じアーティストで音楽のバリエーションがあればもっと楽しくなるかなぁと思いました。

体験は楽しかったのでまた遊びに行きたいなと思います。

I was interested in a kintsugi workshop and participated. They even prepared tea and snacks, allowing us to choose our pottery while learning the kintsugi process through conversation.

When I attended, there was another person from Australia, and we enjoyed chatting while working together, and we returned home together. I believe that even foreigners can participate without any issues.

When I first heard the explanation, I was worried about whether I could remember everything, but the instructions were given very kindly and thoroughly, making it easier than I expected, and I had a lot of fun! My elementary school daughter was also taught gently and carefully while making her own piece next to me, which allowed me to focus on my own weaving. She was very happy to choose her favorite colors and see the piece she made. At first, she said she didn't want to make anything big, but by the time we were leaving, she expressed a desire to try making something a bit larger next time.

最初説明を聞いた時は、覚えれるかなと心配になったのですが、とても丁寧に説明していただきながら進めていくので、思ったよりも簡単で、すごく楽しかったです！小学生の娘にも優しく丁寧に教えていただきながら隣で作っていたので、私も自分の織物作りに集中することができました。自分で好きな色を選んで、自分で作った織物を見て、とても喜んでいました。最初は、大きいのは作りたくないと言っていた娘ですが、帰る時には、今度はもう少し大きいものも挑戦してみたいと言っていました。

I experienced this with my elementary school daughter, and she really enjoyed it since she loves coloring. At first, I was worried about whether we could do it as beautifully as the sample, but they carefully taught us the order of coloring, and it turned out to be easier than I expected. They explained the entire process of making Bingata in detail, and it was very educational, as it was different from what I had anticipated. A few days later, we will remove the glue and see the finished product, and I'm really looking forward to it!

小学生の娘と体験させていただいたのですが、色を塗ることが好きな娘は、とても楽しんでいました。最初は、見本のように綺麗にできるか心配だったのですが、塗る順序を丁寧に教えていただき、思ったより簡単に色塗りをすることができました。紅型作りの最初から最後までの工程も詳しく教えていただき、予想していた作り方とは違い、とても勉強になりました。数日後にノリをとって完成ということで、仕上がりを見るのがとても楽しみです！

Additionally, since the nails get sticky, I recommend trimming them short if possible, but I managed even with long gel nails!
