【Harajuku】Japanese Folk Craft & Pottery with Matcha (Solo, 1 Person)

• This plan is for solo travelers booking for one person. Begin in the studio’s gallery, where pottery from Tottori and Shimane offers an introduction to Japanese “mingei”—folk crafts rooted in local life, and the appreciation of beauty in everyday objects. Pick up the ceramics and notice how comfortably they sit in your hands, the character of the clay, and the colors and textures of the glazes. Next, whisk your own matcha and enjoy it at a leisurely pace from one of the studio’s matcha bowls. Notice how the bowl rests in both hands and how its rim feels as you drink. Using a piece of pottery reveals details that looking alone cannot. After enjoying your matcha, begin creating your own pottery by hand. Think about when and how you would like to use your piece, and discuss your ideas with the instructor. Make one piece of your choice, such as a matcha bowl, an “ochoko” sake cup, or a plate. Your instructor, a ceramic artist, will provide attentive guidance throughout. No previous pottery experience is needed. Once you have finished shaping your piece, choose a glaze from the samples. The glaze gives your pottery its color and surface finish. Studio staff will complete the glazing and firing after the class.
