Kintsugi Experience and Artwork Viewing at the Atelier of a Leading Japanese Kintsugi Artist in Omotesando, Tokyo
Stronger and more beautiful than before it was broken. Through setbacks, hardship, and failure, a new life emerges—refined by embracing the material’s unique character.
At the studio of Taku Nakano, one of Japan’s foremost kintsugi masters and ceramic artists, you can learn the art of kintsugi, view his works, and even purchase pieces.
Taku Nakano is a solitary artist who mastered kintsugi through self-study. Without apprenticing under any teacher, he developed his own “Okunodoi Method,” rooted in the aesthetics of wabi-sabi. Celebrities and renowned brands from around the world visit his studio seeking his artworks. He has held exhibitions in New York, and his contributions to society through art have been recognized with the Order of the Dark Blue Ribbon, awarded by the Emperor of Japan.
This atelier is a new kind of art space—where a museum and a working studio merge into one. Experience authentic craftsmanship and cutting-edge beauty in this truly one-of-a-kind environment.
The atelier is located in the basement floor of the OG building (across the alley from the large, glass Pasona Square building). Look for a swing gate followed by a set of stairs going downwards.
