• "Kobo Seikan" is a workshop, shop, and cafe. It offers a tour of the Yamanaka lacquerware manufacturing site, a woodturning experience, shopping, and a cafe and sweets experience with lacquerware. This tour includes a workshop tour (with explanation), making a vase, and a lacquerware experience at the cafe (one drink included). Lacquerware artisans work here every day. This experience allows you to observe them up close and learn about lacquerware production. Our staff will provide clear and easy-to-understand instruction. Next, you'll create your own original vase using a woodturning wheel and plane, both of which are actually used by artisans. By making a vase, you'll gain a true woodturning experience. Since you carve most of the shape yourself, it's a little challenging, but it's fun!!! Friendly artisans will carefully guide you through the entire process, allowing you to create your own piece. You'll be sure to be satisfied. It's fun! Afterward, you can enjoy a drink made with lacquerware or a sweet treat at the cafe. Relax and unwind while you enjoy your lacquerware experience. Please feel free to ask the staff or craftsmen anything you are curious about. Even small children can try it out as long as they can hold the plane, a tool for carving, firmly. *The information and photos posted may not be up to date. Please be sure to check for yourself before using.
• Enjoy the Yamanaka lacquerware workshop up close
• Lacquerware workshops usually have a division of labor system, so it is not possible to see many different processes in one place. However, here at "Kobo Seikan," you can now see several processes, from wood turning to lacquering, all in one place. It is a very rare workshop where you can see artisans at work up close. The staff will also explain each process, so you can learn about lacquerware in an easy-to-understand way.
• You can experience authentic wood turning on a lathe
• A friendly woodcarver will carefully teach you how to experience authentic woodturning. In this plan, you will not be making a vessel that requires advanced skills, but will instead make your own original flower vase from scratch. Since you will be doing most of the woodturning process yourself, it is an experience that will leave you with a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. Of course, we have taken safety into consideration, so you can rest assured. Small children can also participate. *Children up to the fourth grade of elementary school must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. You can take home the finished product.
• Enjoy your drink in lacquerware (one free drink)
• After the wood turning experience, you can enjoy your meal in a lacquerware cup. (One cafe drink is included in the plan.) Please experience the comfort of wooden tableware. Although it is not included in the plan, you can also enjoy sweets in lacquerware. Please do so.
