Fun and relaxing - I went alone and no one else was in the studio besides the owners which allowed for a nice quiet, relaxing crafting time. They go over and chdck each step to make sure you can go home with a beautiful piece of art to remember. While it is not food-safe, it is still quite useful as a trinket/ key holder/ jewlery dish.

Artistic break from the heat - This was such a fun experience. I went with my mom and she also loved it. The ladies at the studio were so kind and helpful. They even let us start early, which was very nice to escape the heat!

The perfect practice to end my holiday - I did the experience on my last day in Naha and it was the perfect activity to end my trip. The instructors were warm, welcoming and explained everything in depth from the steps involved to repair my broken bowl to the traditional Kintsugi practice. The process was easy for someone who is completely new to the practice and there’s support throughout if you need help with anything. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone interested in Kintsugi or looking for a relaxing activity during their trip.

Fun activity to do on a hot day - This was a great cultural experience. My whole family participated. We are here in the heat of the summer and this was a great activity to do to get out of the hot sun and learn a little more about kintsugi. The ladies were super sweet and we loved taking home our pottery.

Highly Recommend! - Very relaxing and therapeutic. We really enjoyed a slower paced activity where we learned a lot about the history of lacquer. We were able to pick what we wanted to work on and from there, we went through the process.
