The Practitioners Kit simplifies the process with pre-blended black and red urushi, eliminating the need for raw urushi mixing and pigment powders.

Red urushi imparts a golden tone, while black urushi complements a silvery tone, depending on the precious metal powder used.

Additionally, the kit includes a premium diamond file, essential for precise ceramic edge preparation. These tools, sourced from a renowned Japanese company, guarantee high-quality results. Various binding materials are also provided to fill missing ceramic fragments. Paired with finely crafted Japanese artisan hand-brushes, these tools ensure unparalleled control and accuracy, enriching the essence of Kintsugi artistry within this comprehensive kit.
