⚫︎In this workshop, you will hand-craft “Kokedama (moss ball bonsai),” a representative of traditional Japanese culture, and arrange it on a special gold-leaf repair (kintsugi) plate. We use high-quality moss. It has antibacterial and deodorizing effects, requires no watering, and is long-lasting. All floral materials are durable, high-quality artificial flowers, resulting in a beautiful finish.

⚫︎The highlight is the "Gold-Leaf Repair Plate." A one-of-a-kind kintsugi plate, carefully handcrafted by artisans for this activity, is included in the set. This plate can be used as a practical dish or displayed as an interior decoration, making it a valuable piece. Kintsugi plates are available for adult participants only.

For children, we offer "Handmade Washi Origami Plates" that can be enjoyed with peace of mind.

⚫︎The content is designed to be enjoyed by parents and children together, making it ideal for families.

⚫︎This program can accommodate a wide range of group sizes and needs, from individuals to groups. It is characterized by its ease of participation for various group compositions, such as families, friends, and couples.

⚫︎Rental haori coats are available (free of charge), allowing you to experience and take photos in Japanese attire.

⚫︎At the end of the workshop, you will receive a certificate of completion and a handmade souvenir. Includes tea and luxury Japanese-patterned chocolate.

⚫︎Convenient location and access, just a 30-second walk from Asakusa Station. From the windows, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Sumida River, Tokyo Skytree, Asakusa Symbol, and yakatabune (houseboats). Enjoy the best location to stop by after sightseeing at Sensoji Temple and other attractions.
