Shopping Guide

Please be advised that payment must be made in Japanese yen by credit card only at the exchange rate of the day of your visit.
If you have any concerns about taking both the Kintsugi piece you purchased and the plate you worked on home on the day, we offer international shipping (excluding some areas). We can conveniently ship them together to your home at a later date if you would prefer.

Reservation Form

Instructions:

• Fill out all fields marked with an asterisk* and submit the form.
• We will email you a confirmed date and time after coordinating the schedules of our Kintsugi artist and store staff. To finalize your reservation, reply to our confirmation email by the due date if the schedule is acceptable.
• Our confirmation email will be sent from info@isono-revitalizing-office.jp. If you do not see it in your inbox, please check your spam folder.

Important Notes:

• We regret that we are unable to accept last-minute reservations with less than one week's notice or customers who only wish to tour our studio or experience Kintsugi without the intention of purchasing our Kintsugi pieces.
• You may view and purchase the same Kintsugi pieces currently available in our web store at our studio. However, since online orders take priority, please inform us in advance if you would like to reserve any pieces until your visit.
• We are pleased to offer the same prices as our online store, but please note that sales tax is included in the retail price because our studio is not tax-free.
• We offer our Kintsugi experience free of charge exclusively to customers who purchase a Kintsugi piece at our studio. Although the full traditional Kintsugi process takes several months, you will participate in the final steps. This hands-on experience involves applying quick-dry urushi lacquer to a small dish and sprinkling it with brass powder.
• Please allow three hours for your entire visit, including travel time and the kintsugi experience.
• Your request may not be accommodated depending on our availability.
