Take this special experience to soothe your mind and body during your Kumano pilgrimage. Any slight imperfections or scratches are just memories of your journey, and they add to the unique charm of a handmade item. The time you spend silently concentrating on the detailed work will surely calm your mind in an amazing way.
Perfect for first-timers. "Complete" support.
Since it's a small group setting, you can work at your own pace without worrying about others. We'll provide constant support, lecturing on how to use the tools and safe working practices. Even if you're worried because you're clumsy or what to do if you make a mistake, don't worry. A craftsman will always be there to support you, and if you do make a mistake, we'll fix it beautifully. For tasks that require a little courage or are difficult, the craftsman will take over, so you're welcome to just enjoy the tasks you want to try! The work environment is also safe, as it consists of the same desk and tools that the craftsman has used to create silver jewelry for many years.
