TSUGUKIT Traditional Kintsugi Repair Kit with 0.1g Gold Powder and Natural Urushi Lacquer

Repair your favorite broken pottery at home with the TSUGUKIT Tsugu Kit Gold, an authentic kintsugi set crafted by Tsugutsugu, a Japanese kintsugi workshop that handles around 100 repairs a month and has been featured on TV and in numerous media outlets. Kintsugi is the traditional Japanese art of mending cracked ceramics with natural lacquer, then dusting the seams with gold to turn breakage into something beautiful. Because this set uses only natural materials, no synthetic adhesives or artificial lacquers, your repaired tableware stays completely safe for eating and drinking. Lacquer repairs also grow stronger with time, so the more you use the piece, the more durable the mend becomes.

The kit is built for complete beginners. It comes with a full-color, photo-illustrated manual and step-by-step video tutorials in both English and Japanese, supervised by lacquer artist Katsuya Shibata, who has spent over 30 years in the craft. He broke the traditional process down into five simple stages. Since launching in 2020, the instructions have been revised more than five times based on customer feedback, and over 10,000 people have used this same kit to complete their own kintsugi repairs. It is the same set Tsugutsugu uses in its own kintsugi classes.

Inside the box: 0.1 grams of 23-karat gold powder, 30 grams of raw lacquer, about 8ml each of wood powder and tonoko powder, about 3ml each of black and bengara pigments, a fine artist's brush, a spatula, a bamboo spatula, a scoop, a palette, a dropper, waterproof sandpaper, silk cotton, masking tape, and two medium rubber gloves.

This item is brand new and unused, packaged in a compact, sleek box that takes up little storage space and makes a striking gift for anyone curious about traditional Japanese crafts. Note that raw lacquer is best used within about a year of purchase; after that, it dries more slowly, so replacing it yearly is recommended for best results.
