Activities
Metal engraving ￥900
Draw pictures, patterns, or letters on a thin copper plate by creating an uneven surface using a tool called a hera.
Besides drawing an original picture to display as a work of art, we also recommend designing and creating a doorplate or sign, or a pet’s nameplate.
Metal hammering ￥1,200

Make a kaleidoscope ￥1,400
Make a kaleidoscope—a tube which reveals various patterns when you peer into it—by adding colorful beads and other materials of your choice into one end of the tube.The process of making a kaleidoscope is so simple that even young kids can enjoy it.
Marble kaleidoscope ￥1,500
This type of kaleidoscope has a transparent glass marble at the end of the tube, which creates various scenic patterns when you look through it.Insert glass or plastic mirrors in a simple tube and attach a marble to the tip.
