Begin your experience with a quick lesson on the basics of chopsticks, an essential part of Japanese dining. Learn how to find the perfect chopstick length for your hand using a traditional measuring method. Discover the correct way to hold and move chopsticks gracefully, and get tips on Japanese dining etiquette.
After gaining foundational knowledge, move on to the main event: designing your own chopsticks. Use high-quality wooden chopsticks as your canvas and create a unique design. Paint the base in your favorite colors, then decorate with a variety of embellishments. Choose from cute stickers, traditional Japanese motifs, or try the ancient art of “raden,” which involves inlaying iridescent shell pieces for a jewel-like finish.
Once your chopsticks are complete, take them home as a functional souvenir. For a special keepsake or gift, opt for premium packaging, including a luxurious paulownia wood box. This workshop offers a personalized experience, with a maximum of four participants, ensuring attentive support from staff.
