Additional Information:

If there is any salt, oil, or dirt on the item you want to repair, you should clean it. Urushi will not dry well if the item is not cleaned beforehand and the repaired part could easily come off. Please make sure to wash and dry your broken item before your first lesson.


If you have more than one damaged items, do not hesitate to show them all to us when booking your class. It is possible to repair several objects at the same time.

* If you send photos of your broken items in advance, your teacher can prepare a fully personalized lesson.

* Please note that repairing items made of glass requires specific materials that is not included in the TSUGUKIT. If you wish to repair an item made of glass, please get in touch with us by e-mail (info@kintsugi-girl.com) before purchasing your TSUGUKIT. We will prepare a special order with the TSUGUKIT and the few extra ingredients needed for glass repair.

What is Kintsugi?

Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese art form that originated in the 15th century, and it's been around for over 500 years. When a cherished piece of pottery or porcelain breaks, Kintsugi specialists repair it using natural materials such as genuine lacquer and then decorate the repair marks with gold or silver to make them stand out instead of trying to hide them. Rather, we should allow cracks and blemishes in our belongings to shine and tell a story of their own. The result is an object that's more beautiful than before it was broken, and uniquely valuable because of its history. This is the kintsugi philosophy.

We Are Kintsugi Specialists

Tsugu Tsugu is proud to be part of this ancient tradition—we use only natural materials for our kintsugi repairs. We know where beginners tend to get stuck in the process because we receive so many repairs every day and have taught kintsugi classes for years. That's why our products are filled with educational information and easy-to-understand instructions, along with YouTube videos on the proper way to perform authentic kintsugi. Our goal is to help people around the world successfully perform authentic kintsugi and enjoy a long and prosperous life with their beautiful and favorite pottery.

About Tsugu Tsugu

At Tsugu Tsugu, we are proud to offer kintsugi classes almost every day so that you can share in the fascination of restoring broken pottery.

We believe that there's something special about a piece of broken pottery—it's not just an object that needs to be thrown away, but rather it becomes a treasure once repaired with gold or silver lacquer and put back together. We want to make sure that as many people as possible get to experience this ancient Japanese technique and feel the same joy we do when we see our customers' faces light up with excitement.
