Osaka: Forge Your Japanese Souvenir (Necklace, Ring, Cup)

Heat, forge, hammer, and shape pure Japanese tin into your own cup, ring, necklace, bracelet, or accessory. Guided by a local artisan, you'll learn traditional metalworking techniques and create a unique handmade souvenir. If you choose a cup, enjoy a special tasting experience to discover why tinware has been treasured in Japan for centuries. Put on a traditional artisan outfit and discover the history of Japanese tin craftsmanship, along with the unique properties that have made tinware treasured for centuries. Choose what you'd like to create — from a tin cup to a ring, necklace, bracelet, or other accessories—then melt pure tin under the careful guidance of a friendly local instructor. While the tin is still warm, shape it using authentic historical tools. Hammer, adjust, and refine your design until it becomes a one-of-a-kind handmade piece. The experience includes drinks, snacks, gift packaging, and guidance from an English-speaking local instructor.
