The workshop runs for about an hour
One of Iiyama’s expert lacquer craftsmen, Kazuo Fujisawa, heads a Buddhist alter studio offering instructional workshops.
Participants will learn decorative techniques for anything from plates to hand mirrors. (The lacquer and gold powder are best suited for decorating medium or large sized objects.) The workshop runs for about an hour.
Fujisawa’s studio displays work from artists around Japan, and hosts live exhibitions, so instruction is by appointment only.
Pieces from the studio are also available for sale.
