Itinerary
Day 1
2-hour studio workshop. Choose from available start times (10:00, 13:00, 15:00) when booking; below is a sample 10:00 session with timings and practical tips.
Kintsugi Workshop at Urushi Studio Kodemari
Meet at the studio for a 2-hour guided Kintsugi experience. The instructor explains the cultural background and demonstrates the repair technique; participants then practice and complete their own repaired piece to take home.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled start to settle in and choose the object or fragment you will work on.
- Wear clothing you don’t mind getting light lacquer on; if you prefer, bring a small tote or padded bag for your finished piece.
- If you plan to travel by air soon after the workshop, check with the instructor about drying time and recommended packing; some repairs may need extra drying before long-distance travel.
