HATOBA gallery | Nishiogi, Suginami-ku, Tokyo

Service Description

Tsuguurushi (Gold Repair) Workshop | Samosa wala Timoke We will be holding a gold repair workshop at HATOBA Gallery in Nishi-Ogikubo. Gold repair is a quiet craft that can be continued little by little over a long period of time. You can proceed at your own pace. While learning traditional techniques, we hope you will not only achieve a beautiful finish, but also experience the sense of learning from the past to create something new, and the aesthetics of wabi-sabi. The joy of appreciating a vessel that you have repaired and completed with your own hands will naturally deepen. Regardless of experience level, we hope to share the joy of repairing together. ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ September 19, 2026 (Sat) HATOBA Gallery 5-7-9 Nishiogi-Kita, Suginami-ku, Tokyo 2F ① 10:30 AM - 1:00 PM ② 1:30 PM - 4:00 PM ■ Approximately 4 people per session ■ Repair Fee: ¥6,600 For First-Time Participants Lessons in Nishiogikubo are held irregularly. ■ Regarding Tools...
