◉About Kintsugi

Kintsugi is not just about repairing broken pottery, it is about treating the cracks and chips that occur due to the damage as unique scenes and reviving them into something even more valuable. I feel proud of the high aesthetic sense of our predecessors who gave birth to this technique.
Lacquer, which has been familiar to Japanese people since ancient times, becomes stronger as time passes. With the hope that you will treasure your cherished pieces for decades to come, we will continue to work hard every day to provide the most advanced repair service for your precious pieces.
I feel that the process of picking up each piece and putting it back together also provides an opportunity to reexamine my own inner self.
