• We welcome guests interested in purchasing our Kintsugi pieces, but we do not accept visitors solely for studio tours or Kintsugi experiences.

• At our studio, you can view and purchase the same collection of Kintsugi piece that is currently available in our online store. However, since online orders take priority, please let us know in advance if you would like to reserve any items. Kindly note that we do not sell accessories such as necklaces and rings.
• 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.
• Allergy Warning: Urushi lacquer may cause skin rashes in sensitive individuals; use cautiously if you have a known allergy.
• Please allow three hours for your entire visit, including travel time and the kintsugi experience.
