Kintsugi is a traditional technique of repairing cracks and chips on tableware with gold to make it look more beautiful than before. The art reflects the mind of the Japanese 侘び寂び Wabi-sabi which cherishes perfection within the imperfect.

However, did you know that you actually don’t use gold to attach the pieces in Kintsugi?

What’s actually used as glue to repair the broken pieces is lacquer.

Japan has used lacquer in various forms of craftworks such as katana sheaths, furniture, tableware, etc. to make them waterproof and for them to look more beautiful. Japan’s hot temperature and humidity was perfect for using lacquer, because the environment helps it to dry and harden quickly and firmly.

Then when does the gold come in for Kintsugi?

Gold powder is applied in the final procedure after all the pieces are fully stuck together with lacquer. The gold powder sticks to the lacquer on the cracks and the Kintsugi products we imagine are complete. So the gold is actually only on the surface, and not used for the inside.
