The Art of Kintsugi: Traditional Golden Repair in Tokyo Asakusa

Located in a comfortable building in Asakusa, it was easy to find, and the spacious interior made the class very enjoyable. Even though I visited alone, Shirin Sensei took great care of me and was consistently kind and helpful, making my first Kintsugi experience incredibly satisfying. It was a very meaningful experience, and you can even take the plate home as a souvenir, so I highly recommend trying it! It's a great class for individuals, friends, and families alike. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic time, we really enjoyed the Japanese art of Kintsugi, breaking and remaking Japanese bowls. Erika took us through step by step and really helped us get a good result with our finished products. I would highly recommend!

wabi-sabi: finding beauty in imperfection. i took this class on a whim, and it might just be one of the highlights of my japan trip. sui and alberto were incredibly helpful and patient throughout the whole experience, which made the class even more special. if you’re around senso-ji and looking for something meaningful to take home with you, i’d definitely recommend taking this class. a beautiful little reminder that not everything has to be perfect to be worth keeping.

This was a fun late minute activity! Carla is a lovely and knowledgeable instructor. my husband and I had a great time in this workshop. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a fun experience and a cool souvenir.

The Kintsugi class was really awesome. We got to pick from a range of beautiful ceramics and then follow the Kintsugi process from start to finish. Really hands on and a really fun way to spend the day (especially while it was raining outside!) Krish was a wonderful guide and was nice to chat to in the between moments too.

this was one of the cutest, artsy little experiences on my trip! Absolutely perfect activity on a rainy day, and Koko was incredibly knowledgeable and kind in showing us proper technique. Loved her as a teacher. Highly recommend!!

Today, I had a wonderful experience learning about kintsugi. Thanks to April, whose kindness and expertise in the art made the session enjoyable. She demonstrated some excellent techniques, and I truly appreciated the entire process and experience! definitely worth a visit if you want to experience some arts and culture during your trip!

It was a wonderful experience. Both Rio and Hana (our instructors) were very attentive to us. The pieces turned out great and are going to be such an amazing souvenir from our trip! Highly recommend it.

We had so much fun doing this workshop! After a busy day in the hectic streets of Tokyo this is a really nice place to become zen again. They offer beautiful plates and Ruena, our instructor, was super nice and patient while she was guiding us. We also learned a little bit about the history of Kintsugi and she taught us how to write our name in Katakana so we could write it on our artpiece. Very relaxing and surprisingly more fun then we expected. Definitely worth a try if you visit Tokyo! Ans you get to bring a personalised and unique souvenir back home.

Awesome experience for the whole family! We took our three kids here (5, 13, and 16) for the plate crack repair. Serena helped our youngest through every step, allowing us to focus on our plates. Even my 13-year-old, who scoffed at the idea initially, said he REALLY enjoyed the process and the result. Now we have 5 fantastic keepsakes to commemorate our Japan family vacation! Not only that, but Kumiko explained how the tradition originated and the significance behind it.
