Are you ready to turn your hobbies into a business?
Even those who are clumsy can try lacquer art. This is a traditional craft experience where you can learn from one of the few practitioners of Uozu lacquerware, a tradition that has continued for 400 years. A picture is painted on a keyaki teaspoon with a lacquer brush, and then gold and silver powder is applied to complete the piece.
