What we can do
We can make a personal curriculum that combines group and private lessons for every one who can stay only for a short while in Japan.
This curriculum will be arranged according to your schedule as much as possible.
Since “urushi”, the main and natural material used in kintsugi, requires a number of days to harden, this arrangement is applicable for guests who may stay in Japan approximately two weeks and more.
平安堂京都では、ありがたいことに海外在住で日本に短期しか滞在できない日本人・外国人の皆さまや遠方にお住まいの方から「滞在期間中だけでも教わりたい」という熱心なご要望をいただくことがあります。
それにお応えして、滞在期間中に合わせてグループレッスンとプライベートレッスンを組み合わせた個別カリキュラムの作成のご相談も承っております。
金継ぎの全てをお伝えすることはできないかもしれませんが、滞在期間に合わせてできる限りのことはお伝えさせていただきます。

F&Q
Q1 How much the total fee?
総額費用はどのくらいですか？
A1 It often ranges from about 150,000 to 300,000 JPY. It depends on the ratio of group lessons to private lessons. Please contact us first to create a plan that fits your stay schedule.
約15〜30万円になる場合が多いです。グループレッスンと個人レッスンの割合にもよります。まずは滞在スケジュールに合わせたプランを作成しますのでご相談ください。
Q2 How long does it take to learn the classical KINTGUSHI ?
どのくらいの期間が必要ですか？
A2 We recommend a minimum stay of at least 2 weeks. Regular class students spend at least 4 months to learn the basic process. For short-term lessons, we will arrange for you to learn in 6 or more lessons.
2週間以上の滞在期間を推奨しています。例えば教室のお生徒の皆様は個人差もありますが4ヶ月以上をかけて一通りの工程を学びます。短期レッスンの場合は6レッスン程度で基本を学べるようアレンジいたします。
Q3 Can I go every day?
滞在期間中、毎日通えますか？
A3 It is not recommended to go through the process day after day. This is because lacquer requires a drying period of 7 to 10 days for each work. However, in the case of short-term lessons, our main goal is for you to learn the technique, so you may be able to work once every two or three days, depending on the process.
連日通うことはお勧めではありません。漆は作業ごとに通常７〜１０日の乾燥期間が必要なためです。しかし短期レッスンの場合は、技術を習得していただくことを一番の目的にしていますので、作業によっては２日や３日に１回のペースで作業いただける場合もございます
Q4 Is it okay to stay multiple times?
1度の滞在で学ぶ必要がありますか？
A4 Yes. Let's build the curriculum together according to your stay plan in Tokyo or Kyoto.
いいえ。もし東京・京都に年に複数回ご滞在するご予定がございましたら、それに合わせてカリキュラムを一緒に作りましょう。
Q5 Could Mr. Kiyokawa give me some guidance?
清川さんに指導していただけますか？
A5 Yes. It can be arranged if his schedule matches yours.
清川のスケジュールと合えば可能です。
