Kyoto Japanese Gold Repair Kintsugi Workshop
In this 1-hour workshop, you will learn Kintsugi, the traditional Japanese art of repairing pottery. Using specialized tools and gold powder, you will fix broken ceramic pieces. Our English-speaking instructor will guide you step-by-step. No experience is needed.
We use fast-drying materials perfect for travelers. Your piece dries instantly, so you can safely pack it and take it home the same day.
Why Kintsugi? The Japanese "Mottainai" Culture
Japan has many earthquakes, which often break cherished pottery. However, Japanese culture values "Mottainai"—the belief that it is a waste to throw away usable things.
Instead of discarding broken ceramics, craftsmen invented Kintsugi. They glued the pieces together with natural tree sap and painted the cracks with gold. This method turns damage into a beautiful feature, allowing items to be used for years.
Craft your own piece of Japanese history. Book your 1-hour Kintsugi experience today!
