Very lovely demonstration, thank you! This technique is certainly about honoring the emotional value of the ceramic piece, despite that it was broken. Such skill to make the repair so beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for making this, it's an excellent guide. My girlfriend has a few heirloom ceramics from her mom that her kids broke and tried to repair with superglue. She's always been a bit sad about them, so I'd like to try and fix them. I have a few questions if you don't mind, thanks again! 1. What type of sandpaper do you use? Is it anything special that doesn't scratch ceramic, or just a very fine grit? 2. How many different types of lacquer do you use? 2. What do you mean by "solidify the repaired parts" with black lacquer? Does the black lacquer provide extra strength and a better seal, or is it just to help visually hide the crack? 3. Is the red lacquer just a personal preference, or does it serve a purpose?
I love the idea of Kintsugi and giving new life to what is broken. I'm very much looking forward to starting my first piece. What I don't understand is that by using the traditional method, using lacquer from the tree, then kills the tree. So, you are effectively giving new life to an inanimate object but killing a living tree in the process. Maybe I have it wrong? I will look to keep trees living and use a 2-part epoxy resin. Not traditional, but a kinder method! Fixed object and happy tree.
Hi, I saw your comment and while I don't agree with everything you say, it seems you intend well repairing an item. The problem with epoxies is that most are not food safe. If you are trying to repair with a similar gold effect, epoxies are evaluated for food safety without additives (ie gold colorants) and so you put yourself at risk again for selecting a potentially hazardous repair material if you try to achieve this look. Please consider the pollutants and unwanted byproducts from the production process of epoxy (plus the human health hazards) and the energy input required before you dismiss this traditional repair method. The tree which gives up the resin has spent its life reducing our carbon footprint, before all the sap has been removed and the wood it harvested for use. It is completely appreciated for what it gives up and its death breathes new life into so many broken pieces. Killing the tree opens up space for new saplings to be planted in a well managed balance. It is not possible to live without consumption, and death is a part of life. I am sure you use and appreciate wood products in other areas of your life. While this involved process is not for those without patience, sourcing urushi is much more sustainable than the epoxy repair alternative. I wish you luck on your first repair!
Wonderful video. Look forward to seeing your website. Can you tell me what material you burnish the gold with at the end and also if you put any sealant on afterwards. Thank you. C
I love your video! thank you so much for the details. i was wondering how sturdy the kintsugi bond is after full curing using your method/materials? can you still use it for a regular food plate or does it become more of a display? also have a marble tray I'd like to bond, but not sure if it's strong enough to keep it together?
Thank you for message. I have been using the dish everyday for years. I think that using Urushi lacquer for repair is stronger than using the Epoxy glue for repair.
Really fascinating to watch you working. The results are lovely. Thank you so much for sharing there techniques. I have a question. Is this suitable for repair on all kinds of ceramic, even if a tiny piece is missing, and could it be used on black satsuma ware from the 1940’s?
@@kintsugijapanlivestreaming8247 I noticed you do not add water to the mugiurushi, is that right? Very interesting, I like the consistency you get. It is less messy and 'springy' than when I use flour, water, urushi.
Hi, I am from Argentina , and will like to learn the thecnique. What tools do I need, where can I buy them? do you know if there is any place to learn at my country?
Lovely video! I would love to learn this technique too, and would love to know where to buy good quality supplies, and whether to use real gold powder or pearl gold. Thank you..
......wear gloves?? Unless you're one of the rare people who's immune.....but even then, practice what everyone should do...and WEAR GLOVES. Anyone trying this should wear gloves if they don't want an acute poison ivy type rash upon contact...

I can understand after watching this why traditional kintsugi artists would get offended at the “easy” western epoxy resin version.
Lacquer is a culture.

trees die all the time. Look around your house and count how many wooden items you own.
Some trees bleed resin naturally all the time; you can just harvest it and the tree continues growing
Me ha encantado, el ver el arte que tiene, la paciencia y el saber. Gracias. ¿cómo puedo saber los productos usados?
An amazing and wonderful process to watch.
A little annoying that the sound was slightly off sync .
素晴らしい! 蒔絵ってこのようなものなのでしょうか？

Very nice. I too would like to learn this art. How long does the piece need to cure after the gold is applied?
Thank you! It needs 3days~1week to cure.
I noticed that all edges of the broken pieces are lined with a darker substance. Is it shellac to strengthen the edges? is it common to this process?
