Highlights
Kintsugi host Toshie’s studio is centrally located downtown in the garage/warehouse that her carpenter father and artist mother previously used as their studio. Displays of her parents’ works infuse the studio’s atmosphere with the warmth of an artistic family’s history. Toshie studied fashion art prior to moving into jewelry design. She studied metal chasing in New York, designed jewelry for a prominent Tokyo atelier, and focused on a hands-on approach to jewelry making. The joy of working metal with her hands, be it gold jointing, metal chasing, or creating magnetism, ultimately led Toshie to the craft of kintsugi. Join her in exploring the beauty of imperfection through the art of Kintsugi.

About Tokyo
Neon-lit districts, quiet shrines, superb food and distinct neighbourhoods make up Tokyo, a vast, orderly metropolis linked by punctual trains.
Every district feels like its own city. Shibuya's famous scramble crossing and Shinjuku's towers, bars and Golden Gai alleys pulse with energy, while Harajuku mixes youth fashion with the forested calm of the Meiji Jingu shrine. In Asakusa, the Sensō-ji temple and its market street keep an older Tokyo alive, and Ginza offers polished department stores and galleries.
Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
