“1st Kintsugi Experimental Festival / Kayoko Seno”

For the past few years, every time I've returned to my parents' house, I've noticed chipped or cracked dishes.
And every time I saw it, I thought, ``I want to repair it beautifully with Kintsugi!''

I just thought about it but hadn't put it into action, but I thought, ``New year is the perfect time to start something new!''
I finally got around to it the other day.
This time, I chose a curry plate that I had used since I was a child from among the many chipped dishes (left: cracked, right: chipped)

Lacquer is applied seriously and carefully to each tableware.

It was a more time-consuming process than I expected.

Just when you think it's perfect, the teacher makes some changes.

That's all for today.
Once the lacquer has dried successfully, the next step will begin at a later date.
