Refined Gold Powder for Kintsugi, Paintings, and Buddhist Altars
Our fine-grained gold powder is meticulously crafted from the grains of gold leaf, making it an ideal choice for Kintsugi, paintings, and elegant Buddhist altars. Specifically designed for traditional Japanese gold repair (Kintsugi) and lacquer work (Maki-e), this product provides the perfect amount of material for most Kintsugi repairs.
Background:
In close collaboration with Kintsugi artisans and Japanese wholesalers, we ensure the highest quality in this product. Unlike unrefined metal "shavings" commonly found in the market, our silver powder undergoes authentic centuries-old processes. The metal leaf is pulverized, mixed with melted glue to create a paste, which is then set and crushed into a fine powder. After meticulous rinsing and drying, it transforms into a smooth, flexible powder akin to rice flour.

Our Suggestion:
For a smoother application of fine metal powders, we highly recommend using our ceramic dish in combination with an Ashirai-kebo, a special brush designed to pick up and sprinkle such powders.
Safety Note:
Only Kintsugi performed with pure silver or pure gold, or a combination of both elements, guarantees a surface certified as food-safe. Rest assured that our Urushi is also food-safe, making it suitable for sealing your Kintsugi restoration.
