Osaka Tallers

Ens ho vam passar molt bé fent els bastonets. Els instructors van ser molt amables i servicials. Vam tenir una conversa fantàstica mentre fèiem els bastonets. Recomanat si sou per la zona, només cal que us hi acosteu i us uniu a un taller.

La nostra visita al Museu de les Cup Noodles d'Osaka i al Chicken Ramen amb Satoshi Yamamoto va ser fantàstica. Yamamoto va ser molt amable i, en general, un excel·lent guia turístic. Sens dubte, ho recomanaria a qualsevol que encara no hagi visitat el museu. Va ser una experiència molt bona en general. Assegureu-vos de passar per la seva botiga de regals!

Pintar una nina Daruma tradicional a Osaka va resultar ser una de les experiències més significatives del nostre viatge. És una idea tan senzilla, pintar una cara a la teva pròpia Daruma, però comporta molta intenció al darrere. Et fixes un objectiu, pintes un ull i després completes l'altre quan aquest objectiu es fa realitat. Això va fer que tota l'activitat se sentís personal, no només creativa. Fins i tot sense un llenguatge perfecte, el personal ens va guiar amb molta amabilitat durant tot el procés. Hi havia alguna cosa realment tranquil·litzadora en asseure's, concentrar-se i posar la teva pròpia petita personalitat en el disseny. Sense pressió perquè fos perfecte, només teu. Va acabar sent més que un simple record. Vam sentir que ens emportàvem a casa un petit tros de la cultura japonesa, juntament amb un recordatori silenciós dels nostres objectius. Una experiència tan sana i arrelada, i una cosa que realment guardarem i recordarem.

the process was smooth and easy. the instructor set up the warp and we just had to weave the weft. we were taught to use the shuttle, and before that given free choice to pick our skeins for weaving. we were also given 2 free coasters and 2 friendship bracelets at the end of the workshop which was a very nice touch. the studio was also very cosy to be in.

very intimate and engaging session..interesting and pearls are amazing..we popped next door for a macha while he mounted our pearls in a necklace setting

The class was amazing! our instructor, Haru, did a fabulous job explaining the history and the steps of sashiko. I am pretty clumsy but was able to finish the piece, even with a few hiccups. The building’s atmosphere lends itself to art and creation. There is also a store that sells sashiko premade craft sets along with some beautifully finished pieces. Next to the sashiko store front is a cute cafe, comecoLABO, that I definitely recommend you try either before or after the class. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly and I felt like we bonded in our class as we relaxed and chatted while doing sashiko. Will definitely go again!

we came in a group of 5, staffs are very generous and friendly, they will try their best to communicate with us for most times. The caligraphy class was fun but might become less focusing in a large group setting. kimono choices were not that many, and the location-wise is quite misleading. Not photogenic places nearby

The facilitator was very nice and clear in her instruction. I enjoyed the experience. It is important to note that the materials used to mend the broken dishes cannot be used for serving food as it is prohibited by Japanese standards. It cannot be used in a microwave or dishwasher.

Fun activity. Walked through all of the steps to create a meneki neko and the staff were very helpful, friendly and encouraging, and just generally very nice people. They waited for us outside of the building so we could easily find them and like the description says, it's about a minute outside the Shin-Osaka station. In addition to the maneko neko, we also got a Polaroid of us with our creations, a lucky charm, a clear file and they even shared a matcha with us.
