Kintsugi

Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko were both wonderful hosts. We had a lovely tea and delicious Japanese snacks first and conversed with other attendees. The hosts spoke good English and one of the other students did as well whic... moreh made the experience very enjoyable. I was able to choose from about 5 or 6 ancient tea cups and Yoshiko gave most of the instruction on how to mend and decorate. She had lots of examples in the shop which helped with ideas.

Perhaps the best thing about this experience was the wonderful energy exuded by the host. Just incredibly warm and gracious people.

Highly recommend!!

My husband and I had such a lovely time during this Kintsugi Workshop. It was our first time in Japan and Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko made us feel so welcome. They are true masters at this craft and it was an honor to learn ... morefrom them. I am grateful for the knowledge and time they shared with us. It was an experience we will always treasure. The studio was very easy to find and comfortable to be in. The instructions they provide are very thorough and they offer assistance throughout. We highly recommend this!

Our group had such a fun time learning the craft of kintsugi. Our teachers were so talented and generously kind. This workshop was one of the best things we did in Tokyo. After you complete your repair, there are opportu... morenities to procure kintsugi pieces the teachers have mended over the years, which we were grateful for.

We really enjoyed ourselves. Our hosts Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro made us very welcome and our tea cups we mended will take pride of place in our homes. We will recommend this workshop to everyone we know who is going to ... moreJapan.

We LOVED this class - Yoshii and her husband were incredibly hospitable and patient in teaching us the history and basics of kintsugi. They had tea and snacks for us prepared when we arrived and answered all of our (many... more) questions as the afternoon went on. It was one of our top experiences in Japan and something we will definitely do again when we are back!

What a wonderful way to spend a half-day in Tokyo.
Meeting Yoshiko-san and Yoshiichiro-san was a real pleasure. On a wet and rainy day it was doubly appreciated to be welcomed with a hot cup of tea and a slice of delic... moreious homemade cake.
The Kintsugi course was very hands-on and very informative. I left feeling that I had all the information necessary to do some beautiful repairs at home.
I would easily recommend this course to anyone. It is a very relaxing and educational way to spend a few hours.
Thank you Yoshiko-san and Yoshiichiro-san.
