Product Info

A workshop where you can experience creating your own original interior bonsai. (Decide on-site whether to take it home) The venue is located in Katsura, close to Kyoto city center (Karasuma) and the tourist destination Arashiyama. No prior knowledge of bonsai is required; we will gently teach you everything from the basics of bonsai to how to create interior bonsai. Using a 'contemporary ceramic artist's vessel' as a base, you will create your own unique Kyoto landscape using materials such as dried natural wood, stones, moss, and sand. The session is led by a gardener who has worked on numerous Kyoto gardens. We will help you translate the way of viewing and creating landscapes into your interior bonsai. Interior bonsai incorporates the philosophy of bonsai into modern lifestyles. We intentionally do not hold the workshop in a traditional Japanese room. The stage is a modern space where beauty, detail, and a commitment to design breathe in daily life—a hair salon in Kyoto. Modern ceramic vessels × Guidance from a Kyoto gardener × Your sensibility. Create your own one-of-a-kind interior bonsai. ~ Flow of the Day ~ 10:00 Basics of Bonsai & What is Interior Bonsai We will provide a gentle lecture so that even beginners can understand bonsai. 10:15 Start creating your interior bonsai following the manual There is an easy-to-understand manual, so let's start creating your work according to it. 11:45 Title your work and write it down We provide Japanese paper and a brush pen.

Using vessels by contemporary ceramic artist Akira Yamada as a base
A ceramic artist born in Kyoto. He uses the traditional Japanese color 'Shojohi' (a deep scarlet) as his signature color, and its deep, clear red leaves a strong impression on the viewer. His works are housed in the Kyoto City Kyocera Museum of Art, and the vessels themselves are highly valuable. Please create your interior bonsai using a vessel that breathes life into daily living through forms that fuse tradition and modernity.
Guided by a traditional gardener who has shaped the scenery of Kyoto
The interior bonsai workshop is navigated by Kyoto-based gardener Yoshitomo Ando. In addition to creating famous Japanese gardens, museums, and traditional townhouse gardens, he has been involved in the restoration of gardens designated as cultural properties for many years. He also has extensive knowledge of bonsai. He will help you with your 'interior bonsai' creation.
