Overview
Available languages

Mobile ticket
A clean room in a public facility just a 5-minute walk from the popular tourist spot Kawagoe's kura-zukuri district is the place to experience the program.
You will finish a small Jizo, one of the most popular Japanese Buddhist statue sculptures, by wood carving.
It is easy even for beginners as you only have to finish a half-finished piece up to rough carving.
The instructor, who has 24 years of experience as an artist, will kindly and carefully instruct you how to hold and use a carving knife.
There are two types of Jizo, a small one and a slightly larger one, but you can prepare your favorite one upon prior consultation if you wish.

5.00I held a carving sword to learn middle school and carved an iPhone cover. I am quite clumsy in my awareness, but it was one of a kind, with a taste for the coarse parts. After all, I spent a lot of time making this smartphone cover based on my favorite cat... I feel so attached to it!!! We had a wonderful experience and treasure after a long time.

5.00It is not an iphone but an Android phone REDMI note13pro+ case. It was really super light because it just sticks to the soft case! I painted it, so it took about 3.3 hours. The soft material made it easy to carve.

5.00I feel like carving wood gives me more autonomy. It was fun and time passed so quickly. The teacher can carve all sorts of things, so the cats are cute too!
