Adorned Kintsugi

Adorned kintsugi bowl, sake cup and yunomi with decorated urushi lacquer repairs on an indigo cloth over tatami

Adorned kintsugi begins with authentic kintsugi restoration, then adds decorative urushi art — raden (mother-of-pearl inlay), kawari-nuri, and urushi-e — responding to each vessel's unique fracture. One-of-a-kind, food-safe, with paulownia box and certificate. Techniques → urushi glossary.

Six urushi artists restore every piece — among them a certified Master of Traditional Crafts and graduates of Kyoto City University of Arts. Each product page shows who restored the work, with a short video of their process.

24K gold is the classic seam — yet silver, colored urushi, and lacquer decoration arts such as raden and maki-e give each fracture its own distinct character.

We never break vessels to create kintsugi. Each is sourced from trusted partners across Japan, already bearing a flaw, and restored in natural urushi, food-safe for use.

Before You Acquire a Kintsugi Work

What makes your kintsugi authentic?

Every piece is restored in Japan using traditional kintsugi with natural urushi lacquer — never epoxy or synthetic adhesives — and finished with 24K gold, pure silver, or colored urushi. Each one-of-a-kind work includes a certificate of authenticity naming the artist and is presented in a hand-stamped paulownia wood box.

Are your kintsugi pieces food-safe?

Yes. Once fully cured, natural urushi is food-safe, and pieces intended as tableware can be used for tea, sake, and dining. Care instructions are provided on each product page and with your order.

Do you ship kintsugi internationally from Japan?

Yes. We ship internationally from Japan via DHL Express, and shipping is complimentary. Import duties, taxes, and related fees are not included in the price and may apply depending on the destination. See our Shipping & Customs Policy for details.
