Highlights
- This set plan allows you to appreciate masterpieces of cloisonné, which were called the "flower of the World Exposition" during the Meiji period and were highly praised by foreigners, as well as experience making cloisonné.
- You can watch demonstrations by active craftsmen of "Owari Shippo", a traditional craft designated by the country. If the timing is right, you may also be able to hear a talk by a traditional craftsman.
- You can create your own original cloisonné accessory, one of a kind in the world. The instructor, just like the one who will be demonstrating, is a practicing craftsman.
- Shippo ware is a craft in which glass glaze is baked onto a metal base. Because the firing time is short, you can take your creation home on the same day!

- In this plan, you can choose to make either a 3cm diameter round brooch or a 1.2cm diameter spoon.
