Experiences
Kobaien (tinta sumi)
Kobaien has made sumi ink in Nara since 1577. In its workshop you shape your own ink stick by hand (nigiri-zumi) and take it home.
I book it for you in Japanese and come in to translate the workshop at no extra cost.
What it is good for in Kansai
- Taking home a souvenir you made with a technique over 400 years old.
- Seeing a craft that has almost vanished in Japan.
- Adding something calm to a Nara day, away from the crowds.
How to get started, step by step
- 1
Message me on WhatsApp with the date and how many of you.
- 2
I book it for you in Japanese.
- 3
I come with you and translate the workshop (the guide goes in free).
My tips
- The workshop only runs from October to mid-April: no ink is made the rest of the year.
- Ink stains: wear clothes you do not mind.
- It fits well after Todai-ji or Naramachi.
Price
I confirm the exact price when I book.
Go on your own, step by step
Everything you need to get there, walk in and be understood, even without Japanese.
I arrange this perk myself: message me and I will book it. You can visit the place itself on your own. Message me on WhatsApp
