Kintsugi is the Japanese art of mending shattered pottery with lacquer that’s often dusted with gold. Learn about the traditional art’s history and try your hand at it in this class, where you’ll sprinkle 23K gold onto lacquer. As a bonus, the workshop is also held in a traditional Japanese building with wooden architecture that’s worth exploring after class.

Joye, Dec 2025
This was worth every minute, so very interesting and taught by a master in the art of Kintsugi, who was so very polite and friendly. The history about the art form was explained with slides and questions and open discussion encouraged. Held in a traditional studio that was over 100 years old with a gallery up stairs and finished with a lovely matcha tea lesson at the end of the workshop-tasted wonderful. Highly, highly recommend.

This was soooo cool! Highly recommend!! Learning and teaching the kids traditional craftsmanship was everything. JoJo was so great explaining the process and helping us. The end product is so beautiful and is way better than any trinket we could bring home from our travels. Highly recommend!!! If you are in Osaka and will be for a few days, do this activity first if you want to be able to bring it home with you without shipping. If you aren't no worries he will ship to you.
