For example, my friend Yuki teaches kintsugi. She uses natural lacquer from Noto, pure gold powder, not brass. She provides a premium experience.

Post #1: I'm from the SF Bay Area, now a creative working in Tokyo. I write, shoot and promote travel and cultural topics in Japan, hoping to expand into Korea this year too. FT: I take meandering walks through Tokyo, check out new art exhibitions, and watch way too many K-dramas with my wife.
