Professional Artistes Workshop
Vision & Mission
Our Vision
The story starts here :
The Japanese culture comprises a rich set of life philosophies: meticulousness, attentiveness, excellence, and the downshifting lifestyles through senses and gratitude.
With more than a thousand traditional handicrafts in Japan, artistry is the best representation of inheritance, ceaseless studies, and the Shokunin spirit.
"Made in Japan" has been regarded as a label of quality assurance which is guaranteed by dedication, earnestness, persistence, and no fear of adversity from the Japanese craftsmen. It also embraces the strength of solidarity and Bushidō which brings positive energy to life.
Professional Artistes Workshop is formed for implementing the above concepts with backup from The Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s Support for Foreign Companies/Entrepreneurs. By organising various “Study Tours” and "The Art of Living Online Courses", we aim to introduce the essence of Japanese culture to people from all over the world through the experience of "Leisure Learning" in which participants can learn the Japanese craftsman’s spirit in an alternative way and enjoy the positivity that brings into our daily lives.
In addition to the “Art of Living” philosophy, “Green Living” is another concept that we focus on. We are passionate to advocate a green lifestyle, to cherish and return to nature with appreciation, fulfilling the responsibility for sustainable development in our daily lives, and to explore the wellness and holistic health of the body and mind.
Professional Artistes Workshop is not an educational institution nor a travel agency. We provide platforms for the exchanges of art and culture, experience sharing, and the enjoyment of the admirable inheritance.

Our Business
Study Tour
The first phase of the "Study Tour" starts with the introduction of Japanese culinary arts and top-rated agricultural products. As the saying goes, "food is the paramount necessity of the people", Japan is a gourmet kingdom which accentuates the seasonality of food and the five senses of food tasting. With the dedication and hard work of the Japanese farmers as well as the implementation of professional scientific research, many prefectures and cities can harvest the agricultural produce that they are greatly proud of.
We have invited some renowned Japanese chefs to teach and share their secret techniques during the Study Tours. Through the online fan page "Mamama Kitchen" hosted by Ms Kam Wah Ho, we will form alliances with culinary workshops around the world and recruit interested participants to come to Japan for short-term study and exploration.
The Study Tour provides different levels for participants to choose from according to their needs: interest courses, advanced courses, skill improvement courses, etc. Artisan teachers can be more concentrated on imparting skills and experience to participants of various backgrounds during the courses. Chinese or English interpretations will be arranged to ensure no communication barriers between the students and teachers.
Japan enjoys four seasons with a divergence of beautiful and unique scenery. This is the golden chance to join the “Family Study Tour” and “Leisure Learning for the Elders” for appreciating the gift of nature with your loved ones and to experience a delightful learning journey together.
With the production experience of the Founder of the Professional Artistes Workshop, we are happy to tailor exclusive Study Tours for overseas companies and/or groups. Through the bespoke learning experience in Japan, the programme can help to build team spirit and improve motivation.
Long-term Development:
In the long run, we hope to build trust with the artisan teachers and invite them to teach overseas short-term lectures, arrange business matching as well as activities for skills and technical exchange, and invite them to serve as strategic consultants for advising similar overseas new stores, etc.
With the advantages of the Founder’s experience in publicity and promotion, we can organise overseas thematic promotional activities together with relevant business matching sessions for high-quality Japanese agricultural products.
Organise and produce online programmes related to the art of living theme.
