【Voltage Compatibility】
When using electrical appliances, please note that they are designed for Japanese voltage specifications (90-110V), so if you use them with a different voltage, it may cause a malfunction.
【Plug Type】
Our products use Japanese plug types (A or B type).
Please use a conversion adapter if necessary.
【Important Note on Transformers and Adapters】
A transformer adjusts voltage to match your device’s requirements.
A conversion adapter only changes the plug shape and does not adjust voltage.
Using only a conversion adapter without a transformer may result in damage to the product.
【Liability】
We are not responsible for malfunctions or damages caused by improper use, such as operating the product without a transformer.
Are you worried, thinking, "Even though I'm a complete beginner at kintsugi, will I be able to do kintsugi using lacquer?" Actually, over 90% of those who purchase the Tsugu Kit are first-time kintsugi users. Many people, like you, lacked confidence, but the Tsugu Kit helped them experience kintsugi for the first time. We've received numerous messages of gratitude, such as, "Even though I've never touched kintsugi before, I'm enjoying the process at my own pace," and "My favorite dishes have become stylish and sophisticated."
For those who are still hesitant, here are some tips for success from many people who have actually used the Tsugu Kit: "Watching the YouTube video and then following the instructions made it easier to visualize and the work went smoothly." Furthermore, it has received a steady stream of positive reviews on Amazon: "It's great because all the necessary tools are included in the set," "The lacquer is of good quality and not a synthetic adhesive, so you can use it with peace of mind," "I would recommend it to anyone who is hesitant."
Tsugu Kit is meticulously designed and continuously improved to allow even beginners to enjoy kintsugi (gold repair). However, even with instructions, videos, and materials, you might worry about what to do if you encounter problems, such as whether you can contact customer support or return/exchange the product. TsuguTsugu has kintsugi artisans working at their Tokyo store who will answer your questions, and if there is any problem with the product, returns and exchanges are accepted within 30 days of the product's arrival. However, since raw lacquer is a natural product with a shelf life of one year, please open and start using it as soon as possible.
For those with children: The gold and silver powders in this set are food-grade and all other materials are safe for use with tableware. [Reason for not using turpentine] Kintsugi originally did not use turpentine; it was only introduced by a few craftsmen after modern industrialization. We have deliberately omitted turpentine, which has a strong odor and VOC (volatile organic compound) risks, to allow for comfortable and safe work indoors. As an alternative, you can clean tools and wipe off lacquer with household salad oil or rubbing alcohol.
