  1. Don't miss this experience while you're in Tokyo
    Reviewed by: Zane, 2025/04/13
    From start to finish, this was an amazing experience. It's an intimate, private class inside the artist's studio. The instructor provided information on the history of kintsugi and carefully guided us through each step of the process with ample detail. A list of all the tools and materials used in the class are provided in a list as well (make sure to go to Tokyu Hands in Shinjuku to get them your...more

  3. Great authentic experience!

    Our experience was great! We started off with a homemade dessert treat, and Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko were lovely. They patiently walked us through the process of creating our own pieces, and gave us information on equipment to purchase here in Japan in order to do kintsugi back home. Overall a lovely way to have a personalized souvenir and learn more about the art of Kintsugi.

  6. Participating in a cultural tradition

    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 tr...more

  7. Amazing experience!
    Reviewed by: Traveling fan, 2025/04/03
    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.

  8. Wonderful even for the unexcited ones!

    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 miniatur...more

    A little tricky to find the shop initially. Instructor was efficient & very patient with everyone. Lots of time to practice before you do your own glass which was great. Very enjoyable experience! ❤️

    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 ...more
