For your September visit to Tokyo, move from "seeing" Japanese culture to "creating" it.
Create your own tea bowl, then enjoy matcha and Japanese sweets. Spend a special 120 minutes at EDO SARYO.
When you think of sightseeing in Tokyo, what comes to mind?
Asakusa, Shibuya, Harajuku, Ginza.
Shrines and temples.
Japanese gardens.
Art museums.

Why not add a new "Japanese culture experience" to your September visit to Tokyo?
⸻
From "seeing" Japanese culture to "experiencing" it
Tokyo has many places where you can experience Japanese culture.
See historic architecture.
Visit shrines and temples.
Walk through Japanese gardens.
Watch a tea ceremony.
Buy traditional crafts.
Of course, these are all wonderful ways to experience Japanese culture.
But EDO SARYO offers something even more.
An experience where you actively participate in Japanese culture.
Hold a tea bowl.
Choose a color.
Move your brush.
Create your own design.
Complete your own tea bowl.
Then enjoy matcha and Japanese sweets, two of Japan's most iconic cultural traditions.
Rather than just watching,
you will remember it because you created it yourself.
That is EDO SARYO's vision of experiencing Japanese culture.
⸻
Tea bowls × Art × Matcha × Japanese sweets
EDO SARYO is not just a pottery class, a painting experience, or a matcha experience.
It combines several elements of Japanese culture with a contemporary art experience.
The theme is
tea bowls × art × matcha × Japanese sweets.
Design your own tea bowl.
Enjoy Japanese matcha and sweets while admiring your finished piece.
Craftsmanship and culinary culture.
Tradition and modernity.
Art and Japanese culture.
Enjoy them all together in a single experience.
This is an experience unique to EDO SARYO.
⸻
Create a tea bowl that is one of a kind
It is easy to buy souvenirs while traveling.
But
how about making your own souvenir?
How would you like such a journey?
At EDO SARYO, you can enjoy creating an original tea bowl using your favorite colors and personal style.
Even though everyone starts with the same tea bowl, each finished piece will be different.
Bold colors.
Delicate patterns.
Traditional Japanese colors.
Modern designs.
Unique details born by chance.
There are no right or wrong answers.
What matters is
deciding what kind of tea bowl you want to create.
That is all.
The moment it is finished, it becomes a one-of-a-kind piece.
⸻
120 minutes immersed in Japanese culture
EDO SARYO values more than just the finished tea bowl.
As you hold the tea bowl, choose a color, and move your brush, you will gradually become absorbed in the piece before you.
In everyday life,
Work.
School.
Smartphones.
Social media.
Email.
Schedules.
Various pieces of information are always in your head.
But the time you spend focused on creating something is different.
“Which color should I use next?”
“Let’s add a pattern here.”
“Let’s try layering a slightly different color.”
You think only about those things.
Then, after creating your piece, you enjoy matcha and Japanese sweets.
Time to create, and time to enjoy.
Through these two experiences, you can step away from everyday life and immerse yourself in the world of Japanese culture.
That is EDO SARYO's immersive Japanese culture experience.
⸻
Not just tradition. Japanese culture you can enjoy today
When you think of Japanese culture,
You may imagine it as
“difficult,”
“requiring you to learn proper etiquette,”
or “somewhat intimidating.”
EDO SARYO aims to make the gateway to Japanese culture more accessible to everyone.
Valuing tradition while incorporating contemporary sensibilities.
Rather than simply recreating something established, you add your own personal touch.
Tradition × modernity.
This makes Japanese culture feel more familiar.
Rather than simply preserving Japanese culture,
you can pass it on to the next generation in a way that people today can enjoy.
EDO SARYO offers this new kind of Japanese culture experience.
⸻
