Product Info

The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.

  • The Yuzawa region has many attractions, including Akinomiya Onsenkyo, the prefecture's oldest hot spring resort, and Kawarake Jigoku, one of Japan's three most sacred places alongside Mount Osore and Mount Tateyama. At the Yuzawa Kawatsura Lacquerware Traditional Crafts Museum, you can experience making lacquerware using the maki-e technique, which has been used for many crafts since ancient times. Anyone can participate, so why not create your own original lacquerware as a memento of your trip?
  • Experience the authentic process!
  • In the experience class, you will make a teapot stand or coaster. First, choose between gold and silver powder or colored lacquer (colored lacquer will take about a week to be delivered). Then, you will actually experience each process: "Okime" ⇒ "Shichi-e/Shimo-gaki" ⇒ "Konmaki" ⇒ "Konmaki". Even if you don't know how to do it, skilled decorating craftsmen will carefully support you in your creation, so don't worry. Feel free to ask any questions!
  • Three generations are welcome to participate
  • By experiencing traditional culture rooted in the local area, you can make your travel memories even more memorable. As children from elementary school age can participate if accompanied by an adult, we recommend this experience for three generations. You can also enjoy the finished product after it's completed!

It's okay even if it's your first time.
