Step into a serene artisan studio tucked away in the charming streets of Asakusa, Tokyo's historic heart of tradition and craftsmanship. You will meet on the 10th floor of Tosei Building, also known as the Zen Craft Studio Asakusa. In this hands-on workshop, experience the timeless Japanese art of chopstick making.
Begin by crafting your own pair of wooden chopsticks, using traditional tools under the guidance of a local craftsman. Learn how to carve, smooth, and finish the wood before applying natural oil for a beautiful, polished look.
At the end of the session, you can also personalize it with an engraving of your own name to take home with you — a beautifully wrapped personal keepsake of Asakusa's artistry and spirit.
