Okinawa Prefecture Workshopy

Kintsugi class was fun and educational! The staff was friendly, helpful, and very attentive. Studio was easy to find and very pretty. Bonus that you get to take home your piece of art! Definitely recommend!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Unfortunately my paint tube was almost empty at first, which made painting difficult, but after I asked the staff refilled it and it became easier. We could choose between a deep blue glass color or a red one. Some of the paint came out more easily, some was rather difficult. You don't interact much with the staff, you can always ask if you need anything but normally you're left to your own to paint in peace.

Location: The room was nice and beautifully decorated. Activity: Very fun, used coral to paint beautiful shirts. Equipment: Good equipment, with a variety of stencils. Safety: Very safe. Instructor: Good and easy to understand.

I was recommended this experience by a nice lady in Osaka and I couldn't thank her enough. I had so much fun painting my Shisa to my liking. I just would have liked to get a bit of history about Shisas even as a printout. The staff was very nice and accommodating.

It was a unique experience. I was the only customer and was given close guidance in making the necklace. Although the staff could not really speak English, there was an instruction sheet in English and she tried her best to communicate with me. I was also served a cup of tea and cookie at the end of the workshop.

Aké potešenie stretnúť nášho sprievodcu: Taijiho Yamakawu! Môj syn a ja sme si splnili sen a vybrali sa na Okinawu, kde sme sa chceli dozvedieť viac o bojovom umení Kendo. Tento zážitok s Kendom bol veľmi poučný, osobný a zároveň skvelé cvičenie! Náš sprievodca nám vysvetlil praktiky Kenda a dôležitosť rešpektu a vášne pri pohyboch a zvukoch. Obliekli sme si Dogi a Hakama (vrchný a spodný odev Kendo) a krok za krokom nás učili základné pohyby, postoje, časti nášho vybavenia a ako používať Shinai (bambusový meč). Ak nehovoríte po japonsky, bolo by užitočné priniesť si prekladač, aby ste mohli klásť podrobnejšie otázky. Získali sme obrovský rešpekt k tomuto bojovému umeniu a k zručnosti a disciplíne, ktoré si vyžaduje. Toto JE veľmi fyzická aktivita, takže zostaňte hydratovaní a pripravte sa na potenie! Potom nastal čas bojovať proti sebe a spojiť všetky pohyby dohromady! Ďakujeme za takýto nezabudnuteľný zážitok, Taiji! Tešíme sa na správy o vašich šampionátoch!
