DISCLAIMER

When treating urushi, be aware of allergic reactions to urushiol, which is contained in urushi. Urushi can cause skin irritation when it is wet, but once completely hardened, urushi is perfectly food-safe and is one of the most durable natural materials.

It is important to always wear rubber gloves when treating lacquer. The use of rubber gloves and arm covers prevents urushi from touching the skin. However, because lacquer vaporizes in miniscule amounts, people who easily get rashes from poison ivy or mango may get severely irritated even when wearing rubber gloves.
In the unlikely event that you touch the lacquer or become irritated by it, please consult a physician and seek immediate medical attention.

Chimahaga is not responsible for any health problems caused by treating lacquer.
Please be very careful when treating urushi.

Be sure to wear gloves while working.

FAQ

Is it true that Urushi can cause a rash?

Yes. Please be aware of allergic reactions to urushiol, which is contained in urushi as treating urushi.
Urushi can cause skin irritation when it is wet, but once completely hardened, urushi is perfectly food-safe and is one of the most durable natural materials.

It is important to always wear rubber gloves when treating lacquer. The use of rubber gloves and arm covers prevents urushi from touching the skin. However, because lacquer vaporizes in miniscule amounts, people who easily get rashes from poison ivy or mango may get severely irritated even when wearing rubber gloves.
In the unlikely event that you touch the lacquer or become irritated by it, please consult a physician and seek immediate medical attention.

Chimahaga is not responsible for any health problems caused by treating lacquer.
Please be very careful when treating urushi.

Does the Urushi Lacquer lose its allergenic properties after it has cured?

After the Urushi lacquer is completely dry, it is harmless to the human body.

Can isopropyl alcohol be used in place of anhydrous ethanol?

Yes, isopropyl alcohol can be used in place of anhydrous ethanol. However, since the cleaning power of urushi lacquer is somewhat inferior, we recommend the use of anhydrous ethanol if possible.

Is it ok for hot liquids or foods?

Yes, urushi lacquer becomes very robust when it hardens.
But it is not suitable for items that are directly exposed to fire, as this will damage the urushi lacquer.

How many items can be repaired with the STANDARD kintsugi kit?

You can repair about 5 chipped items or 1~2 broken items.
However, the actual number of items that can be repaired depends on the size of the damage.
If you want to repair more items, you will need additional gold powder.

Is kintsugi appropriate for a glass item?

Glass is not suitable for kintsugi because urushi lacquer does not work well.

Can I use my ceramic with kintsugi in the microwave?

Never use it in a microwave oven. It is very dangerous and may cause a fire.

Can I purchase from outside Japan?

We are currently able to sell in any country where the currency can be selected from the menu at the top of the screen.

We may be able to sell in other countries as well, so please feel free to contact us.

question

I bought this kit, but in the lessons, they are using wood powder, which didn’t come with the kit. What item from the standard kit can replace the wood powder? Could it be the tonoko, or something else?

Superb quality

This kit, combined with the detailed instruction videos and a diligent approach, makes for a wonderful result even if you are a complete beginner to kintsugi. The only thing I wish this kit had was a small cutter like the one Chimahaga uses in the video to scrape excess urushi from the pots, but other than that the kit has everything I needed and was beautifully packaged to boot.

Purchased for a gift!

Perfect gift!

Missing items in the kit

Received the kit with missing items, very disappointed that I cannot proceed with repairing my broken dishes.

Hello! Thank you for your review.
We have sent you an email about the product, could you please check it?

Good kit

I wish the ぎんつぎ (gintsugi) had been available at the time of purchase. Also it’s a shame some supplies are sold out. It would be nice to be able to get some of the accessories. I can’t wait for my 2nd kit to arrive so I can do the patching on my きんつぎ (kintsugi) project!
