One day traditional Kintsugi Experience in Kanazawa
Kintsugi is a sustainable
repairing method for ceramics, woods and glasses, which allows you to reuse the broken piece after the repair as all the materials I use are natural and safe for body. Once it is repaired, it
lasts decades.
Usually it takes at least 1 month to repair a piece, due to the drying process of natural materials that we use for this repair, but in this
experience you will see whole the procedure of Kintsugi in 2 hours step by step by practicing with pieces belong to the studio.
You will
learn:
- What Kintsugi is, its
history
- Which materials are
used
- Preparation and application
of Glue
- Preparation and application
of Paste
- Sanding
- Waterproof
coverage
- Decoration with gold: You
will practice the gold decoration part on a little souvenir and take it home
Everyday 10:00-12:00 or 13:30-15:30 (max.2 or 3 people per session, please ask for availability)
Fee JPY7,500 (we only accept cash)
Please note that you won't be able to bring and repair your own piece. Please bring a long sleeve shirt and trousers which you have no
problem with dirt.
This demonstration will help
you to deepen the knowledge of not only Japanese repairing method but also our idea of finding beauty in broken, repair and reuse pieces. This is such a sustainable way to
live.
(this is my personal opinion:
Kintsugi really helps you to find a peaceful place inside you during the work)

Kintsugi Workshops
Reborn your broken piece and give him another life.
Traditional Kintsugi was invented over 500 years ago. So all the used materials for this repair are natural and this is the reason why the piece after repair is safe for food.
As we use only natural materials should follow the natural drying process, it takes several sessions and months to repair breaks, chips, or cracks as the nature.
This is what I really enjoy about Kintsugi, you can see its progress little by little in certain way.
