⭐️⭐️⭐️ Special opportunity: You may meet Master Taku himself in the 11 o'clock class!
Discover how Japanese culture values not just the environment, but treasured possessions. While many discard damaged items and broken pottery, Japanese philosophy believes these objects hold history and soul. Rather than throwing them away, we repair them with lacquer mixed with gold - this is kintsugi.
By mending broken pottery with stunning gold powder, we not only restore the piece but make it even more precious and unique than before.
During this authentic experience, you'll wear a traditional craftsman's uniform called 'samue' and learn this meaningful art form. Leave with a deeper appreciation for Japanese aesthetics and take home your own beautiful creation.
