Kyoko, the professional "Kintsugi" artist who lives in Kamakura, Japan is going to demonstrate her Kintsugi technique live on this KZbin channel. She is an accomplished Kintsugi artist and has held her solo exhibition in California, U.S.A in 2015. She has successfully repaired ceramics that belong to the Olympics medalists and celebrities.

What is Kintsugi?
Kintsugi is a unique Japanese cultural tradition of repairing broken ceramics using urushi lacquer and gold for decoration. The history of Kintsugi dates back to around 15th century. It is not just a technique for repairing ceramics but it embodies the spirit of Japanese people - taking good care of things that they own, their sense of value and their sense of beauty. Kintsugi has been highly regarded as an art form in the world. It is said that people cherished the repaired ceramics even more with the unique golden features that often looked like living things or nature.

How many kinds of LACQUER to use in Kintsugi ? Are they all food safe ? Thankyou.

[@kellyd72177]

What is ‘rust lacquer’? Is it a different type of urushi or is the urushi mixed with something other than flour & water?

[@mattsupples9851]

How do you clean away the gold dust that is left after you polish the bowl?

[@MrElliotErickson]

soap and water should do the trick, but I use Mr Clean magic erasers

[@kintsugijapanlivestreaming8247]

I clean the bowl after dry it, use dish soap and a soft sponge.

Is this food safe??

[@kintsugijapanlivestreaming8247]
