Tokyo Timber Coaster Crafting Workshop in Ginza

Begin by meeting your instructor and learning about the traditional Kumi-ki Art (wood joinery) technique. Hear about the history of Izumo timber, known as the “Land of the Gods,” and its significance in Japanese craftsmanship. Next, start crafting your coaster. Combine wooden parts using the time-honored joinery method, guided by your instructor. Enjoy the natural aroma and warmth of the wood as you work. Finish your coaster by fixing the pieces with adhesive. Admire your completed piece, a perfect, memorable souvenir from your trip.

This is a hands-on activity where you create an original coaster using wood from the Izumo region—known as the “Home of the Gods”—and traditional Japanese joinery techniques that have been passed down since ancient times. The finished coaster will be a special item that captures the memory of your journey.
