Kintsugi Experiences in Tokyo

She was very friendly and went through every step to show us how to do it.
My daughter thinks that she can fix some of chipped bowls at her home.
She is going to buy all tools need while we’re in Japan.

The workshop facilitator was pleasant and dedicated. All the information was provided to continue the practice of kintsugi. I enjoyed it very much, as I like meticulous work. I strongly recommend it.

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.... more 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.

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 g... moreroup 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 o... moref 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!)

Very personal. Toshi was an excellent teacher, easy to follow and exceptionally well prepared. We came away with a lovely kintsugi cup each that we made and inspired to do more. Also a deeper understanding of all that’s ... moreinvolved in this beautiful craft.Would absolutely recommend to others.Many thanks.
