🥇 Smooth and Precise Application: This lightweight plastic spatula is flexible and easy to control. It bends gently, helping you spread lacquer or putty smoothly and evenly.
Its flexibility is especially useful when applying sabi-urushi, allowing you to press it deep into cracks and curves for a clean finish.
🥈 Great for Small and Curved Areas: The slim tip reaches into narrow gaps and detailed parts of your ceramic piece. It is ideal for applying putty to chips, cracks, or inside deep cups and curved bowls. Whether you are a beginner or experienced in Kintsugi, this tool supports delicate work.
🍃 Durable, Reusable, and Safe: Made of strong plastic, this spatula does not break easily and can be washed and reused. It is gentle on ceramics and won’t scratch the surface like metal tools might. Its resistance to water and lacquer makes it a long-lasting and reliable Kintsugi tool.
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.
