WHAT TO PREPARE

- Scissors
- Tissue paper
- Cake flour
- Ethanol

*It is possible to use isopropyl alcohol instead of anhydrous ethanol, but it has slightly less cleaning power for urushi lacquer, so we recommend using anhydrous ethanol if possible.

This kit is supervised by Chimahaga, a Japanese kintsugi repairer.
You can experience authentic kintsugi using traditional Japanese techniques and materials.
This kit uses natural urushi lacquer and real gold, so it is safe to use on dishes.
It does not contain any epoxy resin or alternative gold powder that is harmful to the body.
Mizuhiki(水引き), a traditional Japanese gift wrapping technique, is attached to the package.
The red flower in the middle represents the ume bloosom, which is also used for celebratory occasions.
