Kyoto: Kintsugi Making Traditional Workshop

Discover the art of Kintsugi in a Kyoto workshop. Repair ceramics with gold powder and create a pair of wooden chopsticks to take home.
Step into the heart of traditional Japanese craftsmanship with this immersive Kintsugi workshop in Kyoto. Located near the historic streets of Gion and Yasaka Shrine, this peaceful studio offers the perfect setting to slow down, be creative, and connect with centuries of Japanese artistry.
Begin your experience with the ancient practice of Kintsugi—the art of repairing broken ceramics using urushi lacquer and real gold powder. Under the guidance of a skilled instructor, you’ll carefully mend the pieces of a ceramic bowl or plate, tracing graceful golden lines that highlight the cracks rather than hide them. Each repair becomes a celebration of resilience and beauty, reflecting the philosophy that imperfections tell a story rather than diminish value.
As you work, you’ll learn about Kintsugi’s history, its deep cultural meaning, and the symbolism behind embracing flaws as part of an object’s—and one’s own—journey.
This workshop is beginner-friendly, relaxing, and meaningful for families, couples, and solo travelers alike. You’ll leave with your own fully repaired Kintsugi creation, beautifully restored with gold—a unique and personal reminder of your time in Kyoto.
