Oku-Musashi is offering a special accommodation plan with a “modern Kintsugi” experience on September 29th and October 27th only. Connecting Hearts, Connecting Pottery. ~Transforming cracks into individuality in the rural woods of Hanno, Saitama Prefecture~ The resort hotel “Kyukamura Oku-Musashi” (Address: Agano, Hanno City, Saitama Prefecture; General Manager: Yasuhiro Arai), located in Hanno City, Saitama Prefecture, has invited local artist Mirai Ema to be the instructor and is offering a lodging plan that includes a “Modern Kintsugi” experience, a modern take on traditional Japanese
techniques. While the hotel uses a large amount of tableware every day, breakage is a major concern. While working on “reusing through repair” from the perspective of the SDGs, the hotel received feedback from guests expressing interest in trying out the experience, which led to the planning of this plan.

It is an advanced technique that is also used to restore cultural properties, but this “modern version of kintsugi” does not use lacquer and instead uses special materials, making it safer and easier for even beginners to perform the work.
