Tokyo: Kintsugi Accessory Workshop in Shibuya
Discover the art of Kintsugi in a hands-on accessory making workshop in Shibuya. Learn the philosophy and technique of repairing broken pottery with gold powder and turning them back into life.
What to expect
Step into the serene world of Kintsugi, the ancient Japanese art of "golden repair." In this hands-on workshop, you will explore the poetic philosophy that an object’s history—including its breaks and repairs—makes it more precious, rather than something to be discarded. Under the guidance of a skilled instructor, you’ll learn the meticulous techniques of bonding ceramic fragments and finishing them with shimmering gold powders, transforming shattered pieces into resilient works of art.
Throughout the session, you will shift your focus from traditional pottery to the creation of delicate, wearable art and home accents. You will have the opportunity to design and assemble custom accessories, such as rings or hairbans, as well as unique decorative ornaments.

Had a great experience on this workshop with our guide Mariko. She was very helpful and we were able to make custom accessories which was so much fun! It’s in a beautiful location near Shibuya and great way to learn the history of the traditional techniques of Kintsugi
I had such a wonderful time learning kintsugi with Casey! He is so welcoming and knowledgeable. I hope to continue practicing this beautiful art form. The session was so engaging that the hour passed in what felt like minutes. Highly recommend.❤️
An absolute must-do! Casey is an incredible instructor who perfectly balances the fascinating history of Kintsugi with an engaging, hands-on experience. I walked away with both a beautiful piece and a deep appreciation for the craft. Leo and Link
Our instructor Jay was really helpful and we had lots of fun. He also gave us recommendations for the rest of our trip.
Casey was knowledgeable in the art of Kintsugi. Fun workshop and we got to keep our art piece! I would recommend this activity.
We enjoyed our workshop; it was a creative break from the hustle of the city. We created a useful art piece, magnet and a chopstick resting plate. It was just the right length of time to keep our 10 yr old engaged with the process.
very nice experience had a lot of laughs and bonding! go down the stairs to get to the location
our kids really enjoyed this experience. we learnt something new and had fun doing so.
The staff was very friendly and the workshop was fun.
