■ About Us We sell traditional and practical kintsugi kits (kintsugi sets) in the ancient capital of Kyoto. We procure lacquer and other materials from a Kyoto lacquer manufacturer (which performs refining, blending, and color matching in-house) and provide products that meet the needs of customers nationwide. In addition, while we value tradition, we are also flexibly and actively addressing new demands due to changes in lifestyles. We prepare high-quality products that are more realistic and practical from the customer's perspective. ~ Shop Owner ~ ■ What is the Art of Kintsugi? Once a side job for maki-e artists, it was only for a select few, mainly in the world of tea ceremonies, but recently, more and more people are trying kintsugi themselves. Tableware is not originally meant to last only one generation. Just like antique Imari ware, which is loved overseas, and other tableware that has aged over time, there is a repair technique to pass down modern tableware to the next generation, and the next. ※ With kintsugi, you can avoid the biggest weakness of ceramic tableware, such as "breaking and discarding," and continue to use and pass it down with care forever. ■ How to Use Kintsugi Normally, it costs tens of thousands of yen to have a craftsman perform traditional kintsugi using gold. Tens of thousands of yen may not be bad for tea utensils that cost hundreds of thousands of yen, but in the case of household tableware, it's difficult to spend tens of thousands of yen no matter how attached you are to it. When doing kintsugi, natural lacquer is used to ensure safety when using the tableware, but "gold" is just a decoration. ※ For tableware used by yourself, it is not always necessary to use gold for repairs. Finishing with only lacquer is also a traditional technique. However, the image of kintsugi that is generally perceived is, after all, a gorgeous color of kintsugi with the color of metal applied. Brass (gold color) and tin (silver color) are inferior to gold and silver in terms of rarity, but their metallic colors have a flavor that is enjoyable enough for people. It's not about which metal is the best, but when used appropriately with the technique, it can show beauty to people. Kintsugi is a technique. It is not an expensive and special thing in a certain world. Please consider the tools and materials as one way to continue using your own tableware. ※ Of course, if you want to apply gold to high-end tableware in the future and do high-end kintsugi, the method is the same, just change the metal powder to gold. In that case, please purchase the gold powder separately.

■当店について 古都・京都にて伝統的、実用的な金継ぎキット(金継ぎセット)を販売しています。 当店は、京都の漆メーカー(精製、調合、調色を一貫して行う)より漆、その他の材料を仕入れ、全国のお客様のニーズにお応えする商品を提供させていただいています。 また、私たちは、伝統を重んじる一方、生活様式の変化による、新たな需要に柔軟かつ積極的に取り組んでいます。 よりお客様目線で現実的・実用的な、高品質の商品を準備しております。 ～ 店主 ～ ■金継ぎの技術とは かつては蒔絵師が副業で行なう、お茶の世界を中心にした一部の為だけのものでしたが、ここ最近、自身で金継ぎに挑戦する人々が増えています。 食器は元来、一代(一世代)限りではありません。海外でも愛される古伊万里など、時代を重ねた食器の様に、現代の食器も子供の代、そして孫の代へ受け継いでいく為に、修理技術はあります。 ※金継ぎができると、陶磁器などの食器類の1番の弱点である「割れて廃棄」を免れ、いつまでも大切に使用・継承していただく事ができます。 ■金継ぎの使い方 通常、金を使用した伝統的な金継ぎを職人に依頼すると数万円かかります。 何十万円もするような茶道具に対して、数万円は悪くないかもしれませんが、家庭用食器の場合、いくら思い入れがあっても数万円はなかなか出せません。 金継ぎの際、天然漆を使用するのは、食器の使用に際して安全面を確保する為ですが、「金」はあくまで、装飾です。 ※自身で使う、家庭用の食器の場合、必ずしも金を使用して修理する必要はありません。漆のみで仕上げる事も伝統的な技法です。 しかし、世間一般でイメージされる金継ぎは、やはり金属の色が蒔かれた、華やかな色の金継ぎでしょう。 真鍮(金色)や錫(銀色)は金銀には、希少価値の面で劣りますが、その金属色は十分に人々を楽しませてくれる味わいがあります。 金属はどれが一番ではなく、技術と共に適材適所に使われた時、人々に美しさを魅せる事ができます。 金継ぎは技術です。一部の世界の高価で特別なものではありません。 自身の食器を使い続ける為の一つの手段として、道具も材料もお考えください。 ※勿論、将来的に高級食器に金を蒔いて、高級な金継ぎをする際は金属粉を金に変えて頂くだけで方法は同じです。その際は金粉を単品でご購入ください。
