Overview
Schedule
First, create your personal chopsticks by shaving Kitayama Cedar wood with a small knife.
Next, shape the rough carved chopsticks flat with a small plane. This process is really important.
This is a small plane designed to be easy to use when smoothing out rough wood.
Make the surface smooth with sandpaper, removing fine imperfections.
Shine and preserve your chopsticks by applying a natural oil on to the surface.
Put a paper pattern on the base chopstick case, then apply the traditional Yuzen Dyeing techniques.
You now have a uniquely personal pair of chopsticks with a dyed carrying case.
Take your work home with you as a usable memoir of Kyoto.

moreLots of fun in a beautiful Kyoto workshop!
The setting is stunning—a collection of small buildings set in a garden alleyway—and the staff are helpful. We enjoyed making the chopsticks but loved dyeing the carrybags for the chopsticks even more. Would love to come...
