Overview

  • Discover Sakai, Osaka's historic city of craftsmanship, traditional tea culture, and local artisans.

    Begin by discovering Sakai's renowned knife-making heritage through a traditional workshop, factory visit, or blacksmith exhibition, depending on availability.

    Next, craft your own incense using upcycled matcha, shaping it into miniature kofun tombs and haniwa figures inspired by Sakai's ancient heritage.

    Finish with a traditional matcha experience guided by a tea master, discovering the tea culture shaped by Sakai's legendary master, Sen no Rikyu.
