A must-do if you’re in Tokyo!

Reviewed by: Lexi

This was such a wonderful experience! Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko were so kind and informative. They taught us about the entire kintsugi process and its history. They also gave us all the information we needed to fix our own ceramics when we get home. If you want an unforgettable experience and a one of a kind souvenir, don’t miss Kuge Crafts! The snacks were wonderful too :)

Best part of our trip!

Reviewed by: Leta & Amber

This kintsugi class was one of the first things we did in Japan, and yet it was one of our favorite activities over our two-week trip!

Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro are welcoming, patient, knowledgable and talented instructors. We learned about the art of kintsugi and its history, snacked on delicious tea and snacks, and were guided through producing lovely pieces that we'll enjoy for years to come. Furthermore, we had great conversations (English is not an issue) and lots of laughs.

Very short walk from the bus stop as well. Would highly recommend! Thank you Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro!

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

Beautiful and quiet morning in Tokyo

Reviewed by: DA

We loved our visit to Kuge Crafts! The hosts were super lovely, enthusiastic to share their craft with us, willing to answer questions, and provided lots of beautiful examples of kintsugi to guide our creation process. If you go for a 1-day class, you will only have time to repair small chips in cups, rather than full cracks, as these take time to dry. You will have plenty of time to paint your piece, however, with gold accents!

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

Rich Experience

Reviewed by: Mia Randall

We ended our trip here and it was the most relaxing, yet rich experience. The art of Kintsugi is extraordinary and absolutely points me back to my faith and how my broken pieces don’t discount me from the love of Christ. I thought I knew most of the process, but the time spent went deeper than my current knowledge and enhanced my love for the art form even more! It’s a must if you are in Tokyo, or even if you aren’t, make the trip.

Fantastic, favorite event!

Reviewed by: JZSP

Highly recommend. This was our favorite part of a great trip! Toshie is a wonderful teacher and she has set up this easy-going experience so that it's fun and accessible for everyone. Absolutely worth the price!

Our group was two couples, it was just us; I think she extended the time because she saw we were having fun. Skill and language are no barriers, she has pictures, labels, and experience doing this for many years and it's easy to learn from her and incredibly fun! She serves tea and snacks to enjoy and you can chat casually as you work and wait for things to dry. Plus you get an incredible, one-of-a-kind souvenir/gift/memento out of it! (Which she packages securely for you to travel without worry of damaging it.)

As a tourist who doesn't speak Japanese, this was the activity that left me feeling the closest connection to the culture.

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 yourself!)

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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. I also received a list of necessary items to do it myself in the future. The instructor was very kind and taught us in a pleasant manner. 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.
