Craft Your Own Chopsticks with Wood Offcuts from Instruments

Experience a warm and memorable moment through a unique Chopstick Crafting Experience rooted in Japanese tradition. In this workshop, you will use carefully selected wood offcuts from traditional instruments such as the shamisen, valued for their beautiful grain and character. Working alongside a skilled craftsman, you will create one pair of chopsticks using traditional techniques. The craftsman makes one chopstick while you craft the other, resulting in a meaningful pair completed together. The process is easy to follow, with gentle guidance provided throughout, making it suitable even for beginners. If time permits, you may also have the rare opportunity to try playing the shamisen. Your finished chopsticks are practical, one-of-a-kind, and filled with warmth—serving as a special souvenir that reflects both Japanese craftsmanship and your personal experience.
