Each residency centers on one craft only. These are serious learning pathways, curated for depth and mastery.
Learn the intricate art of yosegi-zaiku wood mosaic from Hakone craftsmen. This traditional technique involves creating complex geometric patterns using different wood species, each with unique natural colors and grain.
You'll learn to construct parquetry blocks, create repeating patterns, and produce traditional items like puzzle boxes and decorative objects. The work requires precision, patience, and an eye for geometric composition.
Best for: Those drawn to precision work, geometry, material craft, and the intersection of mathematics and art.

Not all crafts are available year-round. Some masters accept students only during specific seasons. Some materials and techniques are weather-dependent. Group sizes are intentionally small.
This means availability is genuinely limited. We announce upcoming residencies several months in advance to our waitlist members, who receive early booking access before public release.
Programs fill quickly—often within days of announcement. Join our waitlist to receive early access to new program dates, detailed itineraries, and pricing information before public release.
