United States
It was a "Zen-like immersive experience" that taught us not only the technique but also the "why," the feelings involved, and our connection to nature. I was also deeply moved that the teacher remembered me.

South Africa
A dream kintsugi experience! Chako-san and the teachers were wonderful, kind, and so much fun to work with. I’m so grateful for this authentic and joyful workshop with my friends and spouse.
I.K
Australia
It deepened my appreciation for Japanese culture and sake —its elegance, harmony, and the way tradition is carried with such respect and authenticity.

The chasen workshop with Tango-san was a profound cultural exchange. From the delicate bamboo crafting to sharing tea in his home, I felt the true spirit and warmth of Japanese craftsmanship.

South Africa
The whole experience was special. Ayako was a delightful translator—friendly, kind, and so helpful. She answered all our questions and kindly offered to take photos, making our visit truly seamless and memorable.
I.K
India
Our teacher and Chuko were incredibly warm, ensuring we truly enjoyed learning kintsugi’s history. Having a private class made it even more special. Their hospitality made this an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind experience!
