Overview

900-year Yamagata metal casting tradition, sand-cast iron tea accessories and wind chimes.

Yamagata's iron and copper casting tradition dates back 900 years. This workshop offers sand-casting experiences where you create a small iron tea kettle stand or wind chime using techniques that once produced temple bells.

Local tips

The wind chime workshop is the most accessible. Your cast piece rings with a pure, clear tone.
