Highlights

Kintsugi reflects the Japanese spirit of cherishing the things we own. Through this technique, vessels—whether filled with cherished memories or broken due to age—can be restored to a usable state. In this workshop, we use resin to complete the kintsugi process in just a few hours, whereas the traditional method typically takes months. Kintsugi traditionally employs *urushi* (Japanese lacquer), a material deeply rooted in Japanese culture. By incorporating *urushi* at the final stage of this class, you can experience this aspect of Japanese culture firsthand.

About Matsumoto

Matsumoto is a Japan Alps city in Nagano Prefecture, with a black-walled castle, Edo-period merchant streets and the mountain valley of Kamikochi nearby.

Matsumoto sits in a high basin ringed by the Northern Japan Alps, in the middle of Honshu. Matsumoto Castle, called Crow Castle for its black walls, dates from the late sixteenth century and is one of the few castles to survive with its original keep, a national treasure reflected in a moat. The old merchant street of Nakamachi has white-and-black storehouses, and the Old Kaichi School, an 1876 Western-style schoolhouse, is also a national treasure.
