Very fun and easy to...

Very fun and easy to learn. You learn to cut stencils from sticker paper, and then blast your glass with a sand blowing machine to make the patterns stand out. Went with my daughter and we both had a nice time!

Fun activity learning Japanese art technique

Scott_F, Apr 2026

This was a fun activity to do while in Tokyo. The instructor was very nice and did a good job explaining each step of the process. After selecting the designs, much of the work is in cutting the patterns so as to leave the sticker behind creating the pattern. After sandblasting the colors are etched away. This part was quick but fun to do. The finished glass looked great and is a cool souvenir. Definitely recommend this class to spend some time doing Japanese art.

Great experience with an amazing souvenir at the end.

Was great. There was an easel out the front with my name on it when I got there. I was early so I was just looking at his work in the window and he came out and brought me in earlier. I was the only one there for the workshop that day so I got heaps of attention. The owner was lovely and could speak English well. He explained everything and checked after each sticker had been done. He also offered to take photos of me with my phone while I was using the sand machine. It was a great experience and I now have an amazing souvenir to go with my memories. Would recommend it to anyone and would definitely do it again.

My own unique souvenir

It was a very relaxing and unique experience. They provided a lot of pictures to design our glasses however we would like. Gave us the tools and direction to complete the project. They were very patient, helpful, and pleasant to work with. All kids and adults will have a blast creating something to bring home.
