What is kintsugi◾️◾️

It is a restoration technique in which broken parts such as cracks, chips and cracks are glued with lacquer and decorated with gold.
In Japanese history, earthenware with cracks repaired with lacquer has been found since the Jomon period.
This technique is derived from the spirit of the tea ceremony, which is to accept the restored vessels as they are.
Nowadays, people enjoy the process of restoring and using their favorite vessels for a long time, and enjoy the process and marks of kintsugi as art.

This time, we will use "Synthetic Urushi" which is relatively easy to handle. It dries easily and does not cause rashes, so it is an easy experience that takes only about 3 hours. Please note that the materials used differ from natural lacquer and pure gold.
・ Since glue is used to repair cracks, we ask that you refrain from using it in such a way that food touches the kintsugi part or your mouth touches it. It can be used for things to keep dry things, such as a small container or an individual snack container.
・ Kintsugi wares cannot be used in microwave ovens or dishwashers.
・ Please refrain from using earthenware pots and other vessels used over an open flame.
