Reservation for Seal Engraving Workshop

Monk Dokuryu, who helped inspire the design of Kintai Bridge, is known as the founder of seal engraving in Japan. That’s why the seal engraving workshop is popular in Iwakuni.篆刻体験

Wouldn't you like to make a seal of your own in a luxurious space while looking at artwork? You can take the seal home after making it in the workshop. Don’t forget to bring your glasses if needed since engraving requires some precision work occasionally.

Basically, you will engrave one or two Tensho-style Chinese characters on a square stone. The price varies depending on the size of the stone (1.2 cm, 1.5 cm, 2 cm, 1x2 cm, etc.) and the number of characters.
