Kanagawa
In Kamakura, this long-established seal shop carries on the tradition of handcrafted "Auspicious seals," each carefully engraved by skilled artisans. Guided by the belief in bringing good fortune, the seals are created through shrine blessings and by appraising the stroke count and directional balance of the name. Celebrities, athletes, and business executives from across Japan visit the shop in search of these auspicious seals, with completion taking several months. The shop also works to preserve and share the beauty and significance of Japan’s "seal" culture, and offers a popular hands-on "Make Your Own Seal" workshop.
Touching local crafts is also a fun way to spend a rainy day. There are many workshops where you can experience making things such as pottery, glass crafts, and perfume making, and if you try this as a family or couple, it will be an opportunity to discover a surprising side of your family or partner. The results were better than I expected, given the instructions from the instructor. Of course, each piece is a one-of-a-kind piece. It's sure to be a treasure.

東海道GLASS
"Tokaido GLASS" is located in the Tokaido Kawasaki Post ruins, about a 3-minute walk from Keikyu Kawasaki Station, and is a craft class for the traditional glass craft "Kiriko". We have designs that even beginners can easily create, and our instructor, who is a Kiriko artist and graduate of the Tokyo Glass Crafts Research Institute, will carefully teach you. Strolling along Kawasaki's historical road is fun, and it's definitely worth a visit to buy souvenirs and make memories.
