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.

What an incredible experience! It was an absolute joy to be able to learn about lacquer art from a true master of the craft. I loved learning the history of the shop and being able to see the master at work with my own eyes was brilliant! Takayama-sensei was such a font of information, and delightful to talk with, he even recommended me a very delicious okonomiyaki shop for me to try! My guide Michi was also wonderful to talk with, she was so kind and accommodating and I enjoyed sharing my trip details with her, and finding out about her homemade plum wine (very jealous). If you get the chance please do this experience! When will you get the chance to experience something like this? I will warn you though, all of the works in the shop are so beautiful you'll have to really try hard not to spend all your money on it all!
Thank you for your valuable experience!

I had never been exposed to lacquer art before, but I was surprised by the lightness and elaboration of the products. I also learned a lot about the manufacturing process for the first time. I was able to see the actual production site and have a valuable experience. I was surprised and amazed at how the same drink can change palate and flavor just by changing the bowl. Thank you for answering various questions sincerely to Takayama-san.

I was moved by the encounter with traditional crafts cultivated for 110 years in my hometown of Hiroshima. Despite the materials and manufacturing methods used to ensure that gorgeous and colorful luxury lacquerware can be enjoyed for everyday use only, this gallery of wonderful gems embodies the beauty and sophistication of 'Wa,' and this is a wonderful Hiroshima content that allows visitors to experience its origins through hands-on experience. Above all, Mr. Takayama's calm and gentle way of speaking was a pleasant time.

We had an amazing time on the lacquer studio experience. Watching the artisan at work was fascinating. The studio staff was very welcoming, and we even got the chance to try some of the techniques ourselves, which made the experience even more special. It was both educational and deeply memorable—a perfect blend of culture, creativity, and hands-on fun. Highly recommended!

I was able to observe the traditional Japanese crafts as a good example of translating them into an experience tour, but it was a valuable experience for me and a great fun and good opportunity. I really enjoyed the high skill and personality of Mr. Takayama and I felt the process of making this tour like that. We will continue to support you in the future!
A memorable experience

We had a wonderful afternoon learning the art and craft of lacquerware. Takayana-San is a fourth generation master, and shared with us his family history and the process, along with his wife and family. Michi, our guide and translator, was very helpful and answered all our questions. In true Japanese generosity, we had refreshments and a gift. All in all, a memorable experience we highly recommend!
Phenomenal experiance for anyone who loves art and culture

This was hands down the best experience we had during our trip to Japan. We spent 17 days traveling throughout Japan, seeing the sites and having experiences, but none came close to the cultural appreciation and art workmanship of this one. The communication with our guide prior to the day was smooth and easy. She was able to offer clear instructions on our meet place and even sent pictures of the outside so we could ensure we were in the correct spot. Upon arriving we found our guide was very fluent in English and an accomplished interpretor. This was key as the artist did not speak English. Her skill made communication very easy. The artist is a 4th generation lacquer artist and very accomplished in his craft. His work has been commissioned by the government for dignitaries and has won many international awards. We were honored that he let us in his private show room, and showed us what went into his craft. You even get to assist him in mixing some of the lacquer that he will then apply to his work, making you a very small part of that piece. After the tour and demonstration you are able to leave with a greater appreciation for what goes into this gorgeous art. You are able to shop his art and they do offer shipping. I recommend this for any adult group, but do not think it would be appropriate for young children

I was not familiar with Buddhist altars or lacquerware, so I was worried if I would know how good it was or if I could enjoy it, but I was immediately drawn into the careful explanation by the craftsman Takayama. He was a very friendly person who answered various questions sincerely and we couldn't run out of stories. And I was most thrilled to see Takayama-san's lacquerware up close during the lacquerware and workshop tour. It was very satisfying to be able to experience some of the journeys and the content was really rich, and I became a fan of Takayama-san by the end. I'd like to buy Takayama's lacquerware someday.
