“Multicolored Kintsugi / Nao Takamatsu”

Hi, I am Takamatsu from the Aoyama branch.


It has become a spring-like climate with Gradient, and I am spending a leisurely day going to Hanami.




Transition the subject, a little while ago, I received a hat.Yobitsugikan Hat​


When I thought that I had somehow seen ..., it was similar to the teacup at the tea table in Aoyama store!


Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese technique in which cracked or chipped ceramics are repaired with lacquer and overcoated with gold or silver. It is said that inheriting is called “Yobitsugi”.

I think it would be wonderful to add the hand again and enjoy the new look without it.




Since I was interested, I went to a workshop where you can feel free to join gold using synthetic lacquer this time!

At first we choose favorite thing from a lot of glass and combine.

I was troubled, but I made this combination.

Then place it on the part where adhesive and synthetic lacquer were joined together, and then sprinkle gold powder using a brush.
Since gold powder is attached only to the part painted synthetic lacquer, how to paint lacquer is the biggest point! I was nervous!


Finally, attach the metal fittings and complete.


It is also beautiful when it is transparent to light.

If you make it yourself, you will get more attachment and I want to use it carefully.
