Experience the art of Kintsugi in Tokyo Asakusa Workshop

About this activity

Experience the beauty of Kintsugi in a peaceful Tokyo studio, where broken pottery is transformed into art. Guided by a skilled instructor, you’ll repair a ceramic piece using traditional techniques that highlight cracks with shimmering gold. Learn the philosophy behind Kintsugi—embracing imperfections as part of an object’s history—while applying lacquer, setting the fragments, and adding the final gold finish. By the end of the workshop, you’ll take home your restored piece, a meaningful reminder of resilience, craftsmanship, and the elegance found in imperfection.
