Recent reviews of Kumiko Woodworking Class
- 5/5 from Kicy Motley, attended Jun 2026: This was such a great class! Jess, our instructor, was really knowledgable, explained everything really well and was super patient. Can't wait to take another class here.
- 5/5 from Aegina Barnes, attended Jun 2026: Great customer service and very understanding teacher!
- 5/5 from Seungah Jeong, attended Apr 2026: We greatly enjoyed our Kumiko Woodworking Class. The experience was outstanding. The instructor was comprehesive and made the process both fun and interesting. He was personable and really engaged with us during the entire session. Moreoever, the business (Nihonsan Tools & Hardware) set things up so it enabled us beginners to understand the tools and techniques we were using and to also engage further by offering take home kits and tools we could purchase for at home use. I would enthusiastically recommend any class through Nihonsan - for beginners or more advanced woodworkers! It really felt like a welcoming community and a terrific introduction to an amazing art form.
- 5/5 from Helen Jacob, attended Feb 2026: Joe was a fabulous teacher. He was patient, kind, and thoughtful throughout the whole process. It was a relaxed atmosphere and the best part is that we can get snacks and coffee during the class bc it was in a cafe! I can easily see myself doing more of these classes if we didn't so far from the studio. It's definitely a great intro course to anyone who is interested in Kumiko or Japanese woodworking. It was my husband's birthday and they surprised him with a dessert with candles and it blew my husband away! I highly recommend this class.

Nihonsan is one of the only brick-and-mortar shops in the U.S. solely focused on selling Japanese woodworking hand tools and hardware. We are also a community offering Japanese woodworking classes, beginners’ kits, Hinoki lumber from Japan, as well as knowledge and guidance through our staff and community partners. If we don’t have what you want, we can probably point you in the right direction to find it. Nihonsan was conceived by Joe Samalin with help from Shuya Iida of Hachi Collections, and his incredible team there. But none of this could have been done without the support and partnership of our incredible community of fellow makers, family, and friends
