\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Chubu region in Japan, where Zenagi is located, is a center of Japan’s arts and crafts.
\nEspecially for those who love pottery and lacquerware, this is the place to be.
\n
\nThe Kiso Valley is the top producer of lacquerware, whereas the Tono region,
the eastern part of Gifu prefecture, is that of pottery.
\nBoth destinations are located within an hour’s drive from hotel Zenagi.

\nIf you are keen on exploring the essence of Japan’s craftmanship,
there is no other place you would rather visit.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Lacquerware manufacturing invloves two processes; woodturning and lacquer painting.
Here in the Kiso Valley, craftsmanship of those two techniques is uniquely developed.

Kijishi or woodturners are one of a kind craftsmen who have protected a unique woodturning technique invented by the imperial family 1,200 years ago.
(Today, there are only two families who have been inheriting this technique over the centuries.)

Our exclusive tour will make a visit to the studio of the legendary craftsman,
one of a few artists in Japan who deal with both woodturning and lacquer painting,
and appreciate the craftmanship.

In the studio, you wiil get to experience a traditional lacquer decoration technique called Maki-e,
where you draw a picture with lacquer on the surface of lacquerware,
and then apply gold or silver powder on the surface to create a design.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Your private guide will take to Kijishi no Sato in the deep mountain, 20 minutes drive from Zenagi. Kiji-shi refers to a woodturner who creates wooden plates and bowls using traditional techniques.
\nIn Nagiso machi, where Zenagi is located, there is a unique village where only Kiji-shi resides. We will make a visit to Kijishi's studio which is not open to the public to interact with the artists and see their artworks.
\n
\nIn the studio, you wiil experience a traditional lacquer decoration tecnique called Maki-e, where you draw a picture with lacquer on the surface of lacquerware, and then apply gold powder on the surface to create a design.
\nA rough sketch will make it easier for everyone to enjoy the activity.\n\nOff course you have a time to enjoy shopping after the experience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
