About Kintsugi

Kintsugi golden joinery is the Japanese art of repairing broken wares by mending the areas of breakage with urushi lacquer followed by dusting with powdered gold. Read more about the history of kintsugi.

One of the beauties of kintsugi is that the experience is unique to each individual, type of ware, and condition. While the core philosophy, materials, and process are shared, each kintsugi master and student has developed and refined a method that best suits their expression and local terroir. Therefore, there is no single ‘correct’ way to restore items with kintsugi. We seek to share with you our ever-evolving best practices to continue to serve as the guide on your kintsugi journey.
