Introduction |
| Kintsugi was developed alongside the tea ceremony by [link|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sen_no_Riky%C5%AB|Sen no Rikyu|new_window=true] (千利休). During [link|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sengoku_period|the Sengoku Warring States period|new_window=true] in Japan (15th and 16th centuries), tea utensils were given to warriors as spoils of war. Broken tea utensils that were repaired with gold or lacquer fillings were considered more valuable than in their original state. The development of the kintsugi technique gave birth to a culture that embraced the inevitability of things breaking. | | | Sometimes we accidentally break or chip our precious ceramic products. Rather than throwing them away, there is a better way: Kintsugi, a traditional Japanese technique, that can be used to successfully repair such products in a simple way. | | | Coffee you drink from a mug that you have repaired with your own hands will taste even better! | | | | | ***The work is finished when it is completely dry. Kintsugi ceramics cannot be placed in a dish washer.*** | | ***Please note that kintsugi ceramics are not dishwasher-safe.*** |
