Authentic Kintsugi
The Soul of Kintsugi
Authentic kintsugi is the classic form of the practice — broken Japanese ceramics mended with natural urushi lacquer and finished along the seam with pure 24K gold, silver, or colored urushi.
No synthetic adhesives are used. Each restoration takes approximately four months of layered lacquer and hand polishing. A fracture is never erased; it is accepted, lined, and made part of the vessel's story — a trace of time accepted as beauty.
Every work is one of a kind, fully food-safe, and arrives in a branded paulownia box with a certificate of authenticity.
Authentic Japanese Kintsugi Artistry
Urushi Lacquer Craftsmanship
Restored in Japan with natural urushi, each piece is built through layered lacquer and careful polishing using time-honored methods. You can also view a short restoration video on every product page.
Kintsugi’s Artful Finishes
We restore classical Kintsugi using pure gold, but also finish pieces in silver or colored urushi to best suit each vessel. To enrich the expression, we may decorate using lacquer arts such as raden, rmaki-e, giving each scar renewed character and imperfect beauty.
Ethically Sourced & Food-Safe
Each piece begins as a valuable vessel—damaged yet worth preserving. Ethically sourced and carefully restored with natural urushi using traditional methods, made food-safe for daily use.
