Hiroshima:Private lacquer workshop experience tour(gift included)

About this activity

A workshop and lacquer experience with Hiroshima's foremost artist Naoya Takayama. He pursues Japanese beauty while exploring new ways to pass on tradition by applying the lacquering craftsmanship honed at Hiroshima Buddhist altars to the tableware we use every day. Let's get a chance to learn the origins and techniques of the traditional craft Hiroshima Buddhist altar by his instruction and have an experience of Lacquer painting!

About the tour instructor: Naoya Takayama

He learned the traditional techniques of Kyoto lacquer painting, further refined his lacquering skills, and incorporated the roiro (wax color) technique to create highly original pieces.

Inheriting the skills and spirit of Kiyoshi Takayama, the founder of the company, for traditional techniques, he has received numerous awards and his works were selected as a gift at the G7 Summit.

Lacquerware for everyday use uses only natural materials and expresses the refined texture of lacquering.
