TSUGUKIT – Traditional Kintsugi Gold Repair Kit (Authentic Gold & Natural Lacquer)

The TSUGUKIT Tsugu Kit is an authentic traditional kintsugi repair set created by Kintsugi Kōbō Tsugukit, allowing you to experience real Japanese gold repair using ancient techniques passed down through generations. Unlike imitation kits that rely on synthetic adhesives, this kit uses genuine urushi (natural lacquer), pure gold powder, and natural materials only, making it safe for repairing tableware that comes into contact with food.

Supervised by Katsuya Shibata, a lacquer craftsman with over 30 years of professional experience, this kit is designed specifically for beginners while preserving true traditional methods. The repaired joints grow stronger over time, a unique property of real urushi lacquer that cannot be replicated with modern glues.

The set includes clear, beginner-friendly instructions and video tutorials in both Japanese and English, making it accessible to users worldwide. All five steps of the kintsugi process are carefully explained, so even first-time users can confidently repair cracks, chips, and breaks at home.

Compact, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, the TSUGUKIT is also an excellent gift for lovers of Japanese culture, crafts, ceramics, and sustainable living. Kintsugi is not only a repair technique—it is a philosophy that embraces imperfection, longevity, and mindfulness. In a world of mass production and disposal, this kit invites you to slow down, focus, and restore beauty with intention.

This is not a simplified “metal glue” repair kit. It is a true kintsugi experience, trusted by professionals, featured in media, and continuously improved based on customer feedback. Refill materials are available, allowing you to practice kintsugi as a lifelong craft.
