Kintsugi Academy
Goal
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken objects with Japanese lacquer (urushi) and gold.
The authentic kintsugi method is based on the maki-e technique. This technique requires many years of patient practice.
Kintsugi is part of the Japanese thought “wabi-sabi” which invites us to recognize the beauty of simple, imperfect and atypical things.
In recent years there has been more and more interest in this technique in the West.
The Kintsugi Academy aims to teach the authentic kintsugi method.
