Use With Caution

- In rare cases, simply opening the tube of raw urushi can cause a severe allergic reaction, leading to skin inflammation, swelling, or eye irritation if the evaporated urushi components come into contact with the face, skin, or eyes. If you feel any discomfort after opening the tube, stop using it immediately and consult a doctor.

-Ā The raw urushi in our kit can cause skin irritation and rashes when it comes into direct contact with the skin. We strongly recommend using rubber gloves and wearing long sleeves when doing kintsugi.

- If you do experience a rash while using our kit, please stop using it immediately and seek medical advice. The severity of the rash can vary from person to person. We want to make sure you have a safe and enjoyable experience with kintsugi.

Please note that we are not responsible for skin irritations caused by this product.

Solid kit with all the important parts

"The kit was delivered quickly and is in perfect condition. The additional optional gift wrapping was top tier and remains an excellent package to keep the kit in after opening. Instructions are clear in both English and Japanese and while we haven't yet finished our first round of repairs so far things seem to be working perfectly. The attention to detail throughout this kit shows the care and value placed on it by the creator and despite the high price I don't regret the purchase."

— Shane A. (5/5)

From Melbourne

"A comprehensive kit, of excellent quality and good instructions on how to begin one’s first Kintsugi. Supply was quick and the staff were excellent on a question I had about curing in the Muro when the room temperature drops overnight."

— John (5/5)

All you need to get started with genuine kintsugi!

"Fast delivery, all in a neat little box with all you need to get started. Comes with a very clear instruction manual (although I believe there are also videos I haven't used). I'd advise to buy some turpentine to easily clean the mixing plate and the brush after each use."

— Abel U. (5/5)

High quality

"Very good quality product. Very fast shipping, But the Spanish import taxes are quite expensive"

— Fer R. (5/5)

So Very Worth It

"This kit is beautifully put together, and so far the instructions have been easy to follow (I'm not fully through the process yet). I appreciate all of the thought and intention that went into the kit's design. I ran into some complications with Customs (expected), but the support I got from this company made it SO easy. They gave me additional documents that I passed along to the carrier, and a couple days later the kit was on my doorstep. If you're even remotely interested in learning kintsugi, I highly recommend these folks. 11/10"

— David W. (5/5)

Everything needed to get started

"I bought this kit to make a kintsugi mug for my wife for Christmas. The kit worked very well and I made a piece I am proud of for my first time out. Specifically I am glad it is a traditional, and not synthetic/modern, kit. I found kintsugi to be a very calming and mindful process. A great way to settle the mind and body at the end of a day. And in the end you have beautiful work to show for it."

— Casey C. (5/5)

Great, well packaged

"Very well packaged and promptly shipped. Customer service responded almost immediately to my inquiries, and was very courteous and professional."

— Jeremy W. (5/5)

"It took 22 days to arrive because it got stuck in customs clearance and required several rounds of emails with FedEx and the supplier to address the documentation gaps. The supplier was helpful and responsive in getting the package released. Then I received an unexpected tariff bill of $65 from FedEx the day the kit finally arrived."

— Timothy (3/5)

Excellent customer service

"I ran into an issue with getting the package with US customs and it was shipped back to Japan. The customer service from Kaname after I reached out was exceptional. He took personal responsibility and diligently worked on getting it shipped back to me in an expedited fashion."

— Kartik (5/5)

30-Min Kintsugi Tutorial

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 traditionā€”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 potteryā€”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.
