Mission Statement of Kintsugi Girl
By taking a little time and putting heart into, your broken things can turn to be even more beautiful and valuable items. This spirit lies in “Kintsugi” practice. Have you ever accomplished all processes on your own recently? Through Kintsugi, we will help everyone feel “Self-efficacy”. Yes, you can do it!
About Kintsugi
Kintsugi is traditional Japanese craftsmanship that repairs broken, chipped or cracked ceramics using paint made from lacquer tree sap, called “Urushi”, and finishing it with gold powder. This technique allows you to stay with memorable items for a long time and to make a new history together.
Hello!
I work in a small apartment in the middle of Tokyo. Someday, I would like to offer a wonderful time from stores, have more people stop by, and help you forget about everyday life by healing through Kintsugi.
Feel free to contact us
We started with what we can do, such as Kintsugi repairing services, selling Kintsugi accessories, private Kintsugi classes at your space, and updating blogs.
Please let me know if you would like to have the other services.
