[Product Description]
・[Kintsugi isn't just about gold!] The "Tsugu Kit Gold and Silver" contains 0.1g of gold powder and 0.2g of silver powder. This kit offers a wide range of finishing colors, allowing you to customize it to match the color and design of your plate. Our shop is loved worldwide for its "authentic kintsugi" (gold and silver lacquer) using natural lacquer. It uses gold and silver powder, genuine lacquer, natural materials, and a face brush. We use only natural materials, without synthetic adhesives or synthetic lacquers, making it safe for use on dishes that come into contact with your mouth. Kintsugi made with genuine lacquer also strengthens over time.
・If you're interested in trying kintsugi but are worried about the complexity of the process, Tsugutsugu's beginner-friendly kintsugi kit condenses the 10-plus steps of authentic kintsugi into just 5. Learn intuitively with the full-color instruction manual and video. Supervised by Katsuya Shibata, a lacquer artist with 30 years of experience, Tsugutsugu boasts a track record of 100 repairs per month, and provides comprehensive after-sales support to ensure your kintsugi experience continues to the very end. Create special moments filled with smiles and sharing a meal with family and friends, using tableware you've restored with your own hands.
・[Why it's turpentine-free] By omitting turpentine, which has a strong odor and VOC (volatile organic compound) risk, we've made it possible to work comfortably and safely indoors without worrying about odors. We've also reduced the risk of organic solvent components remaining on the tableware and ingesting it. Instead of turpentine, you can use household salad oil or rubbing alcohol to clean tools and wipe off lacquer.
・For those of you who always find it hard to choose a gift and always end up with something safe and sound, Tsugutsugu's Kintsugi Kit offers a unique experience that will capture the heart of any lover of Japanese culture. With instructions and videos in both Japanese and English, it's a safe gift for friends overseas and an easy way to kickstart a lifelong hobby.
