[Kintsugi isn't just about gold!] This "Premium" Natsugu Kit contains the largest amount of metal powder in the Natsugu Kit series: 0.3g of gold powder and 0.5g of silver powder. The expanded selection of finishing colors allows you to customize the finish to match the color and design of your plate. Our shop is loved worldwide for its "authentic Kintsugi" using natural lacquer. We use gold and silver powder, genuine lacquer, natural materials, and a face brush. We use only natural materials, without synthetic adhesives or synthetic lacquers, making this a safe set for tableware that will come into contact with your mouth. Furthermore, Kintsugi using genuine lacquer strengthens over time.
"I want to try kintsugi, but I'm worried about the number of steps..." Tsugutsugu's beginner-friendly kintsugi kit condenses over 10 steps of authentic kintsugi into just 5 steps. Full-color instructions and videos make learning intuitive. Supervised by Katsuya Shibata, a lacquerware artist with 30 years of experience, Tsugutsugu boasts a track record of over 100 repairs per month, and provides thorough after-sales support until the very end. Create a special moment filled with smiles and share it with family and friends around the dining table, using the tableware you've restored with your own hands.
[Reason for not using turpentine] By eliminating turpentine, which has a strong odor and VOC (volatile organic compound) risk, we have made it possible to work comfortably and safely indoors without worrying about odors. We have also reduced the risk of organic solvent components remaining on vessels and ingesting them. Instead of turpentine, you can use household salad oil or rubbing alcohol to clean tools and wipe off lacquer.
"I'm always stuck with choosing the right gift and always end up with something safe..." Tsugutsugu's Kintsugi Kit is the perfect gift for lovers of Japanese culture, offering a unique experience that will capture their heart. It comes with instructions and videos in both Japanese and English, making it a safe gift for friends overseas, and a great way to kick-start a lifelong hobby. It contains the largest amount of metal powder, allowing for many repairs, making it the most popular kit in the Tsugu kit series among people overseas.
