Overview

In a Kintsugi experience, you can actually experience the traditional Japanese culture of repairing broken or chipped pottery and creating new beauty. A major appeal is that it's not just about fixing something that's broken, but about encountering a unique Japanese aesthetic and way of thinking that values "scratches and chips as unique characteristics of that piece of pottery." During the experience, you can learn about Kintsugi techniques and history while actually performing the repair process. There is careful support so that even beginners can enjoy it, so even those unfamiliar with art or crafts can participate with peace of mind. Also, since you can take home the pottery you repaired with your own hands, it becomes a special, one-of-a-kind work and a memory of your trip. The experience of working with pottery in a quiet setting is also a healing time that makes you forget the hustle and bustle of daily life, and it is a valuable opportunity to feel the Japanese spirit of "wabi-sabi" and the culture of cherishing things for a long time.
