Key Points of This Plan
01Momentum Factory Orii
Copper Coloring Experience/
Factory Tour
You can make copper artwork using traditional coloring techniques. Unique colors are applied to the copper and metals, and when finished, these pieces can be taken home and used as picture frames or coasters. During the factory tour, you’ll be able to see the artisan’s dedication and skills up close.
*For this plan, you may choose between the coloring experience/factory tour at Momentum Factory Orii or the tin accessory-making experience at Otera Kohachiro Shoten.
02Otera Kohachiro Shoten
Tin Accessory-making
Experience
Otera Kohachiro Shoten has been using Takaoka traditional casting techniques since the Edo Period. Here, you will be given the chance to use the characteristically soft metal tin to experience making your own original accessories.

Experience/Japanese Tea and

After making the sweets, you can enjoy trying them along with some green tea and seasonal sweets made by the craftsman themselves.
