Introducing Japanese authentic Bulk Tonoko, an essential base powder for your kintsugi supplies. It serves as a crucial ingredient in making Sabi, a filling paste for repaired surfaces that can be finely sanded down in kintsugi.
Also, it serves as a crucial ingredient in making Abura-tonoko, a "polish" mixture combining tonoko and oil, ideal for the final finish when polishing a kintsugi surface. However, this technique is more suitable for hard alloys rather than a finer and softer metal powder finish. Nevertheless, we provide finer "polish" powders specifically designed for this purpose if needed. Still, the Abura-tonoko remains the most economical choice for appropriate use.
As this is a bulk un-meshed product, you can benefit from using our mesh tools or pestle and mortar to finely grind down the material to your desired consistency.
Rest assured, all the materials used in these products are natural and sourced from Japan. We collaborate closely with Kintsugi artisans and Japanese wholesalers, ensuring the highest quality.

Our Recommendation:
Tonoko is a fine clay dust, while Jinoko is a coarse clay dust. Although both can be used similarly, you may find your preference in blending them for consistency and malleability. For example, adding Jinoko into Tonoko creates a stronger blend for areas that may require extra support during setting. Feel free to try both to determine your preference or even use them together for optimal results.
