At Asada Lacquerware Crafts, we offer Yamanaka Lacquerware ``Urushi Painting Experience'' where you can paint pictures with lacquer.

Why not create your own “Only Bowl” as a souvenir of Yamanaka Onsen by painting pictures on lacquer chopsticks or bowls?

In the wiping lacquer experience, you will be asked to rub lacquer onto unpainted wood and wipe off the excess lacquer once with paper.

After that, our craftsmen will finish the work and deliver it the next day.

It is often crowded on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, and just before the Obon holiday, so we recommend making reservations in advance.

Please fill out the reservation form below for the date and time from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (last reception is 4:00 PM).

[About the order of painting experience]

① Select the item.

Choose from a variety of bowls, plates, and chopsticks.

*If you purchase an item that costs more than 1,500 yen for chopsticks or 2,500 yen for a bowl, we will ask you to pay extra on-site.

② Draw a rough sketch with chalk.

Draw with chalk on the chosen vessel or plate. There is no problem with painting with lacquer over chalk.

③ Paint with colored lacquer.

Paintings are done using six different colors of lacquer, including light blue lacquer. If you apply thick lacquer, it will not finish well.

The trick is to draw thinly and evenly.

④Sowing with gold powder

Finish with gold or silver powder before the lacquer hardens.

Complete! !

It's fun to arrange chopsticks, bowls, and various lacquerware in your own way♪

This is an experience unique to Yamanaka Onsen that both children and adults can enjoy.
