Kintsugi which literally means Kintsugi (⾦継ぎ, "golden joint") or kintsukuroi (⾦繕い, "golden repair"). Repairs that are sublimated with gold, silver or other metal powders. This is a natural repair method that has existed since the 15th century in Asia, for which only Urushi lacquer in various forms, in other words the sap of a tree, is used as the main ingredient. At the Yūekina Kintsugi workshop, you can also buy Kintsugi ceramics and porcelain.

Yūekina Kintsugi is a craftsman who can give a second life to your ceramic, porcelain or other pottery pieces, with the traditional Japanese method of Kintsugi.

It takes at least 5 weeks to repair a simple breakage, but some pieces can require months of work.

What could be better than gold powder to enhance the injury of a ceramic piece. Gold powder is the gilding traditionally used to make Kintsugi, but silver, gilded aluminum, brass, and many other metal powders are also used to enhance a repair.
