Kintsugi - Standard Kit - Gold 0.4g

We're delighted to unveil our latest addition to the kintsugi kit lineup, crafted in collaboration with skilled Japanese artisans. Our new Standard Kit offers accessible, user-friendly materials, including our Premium 23.44K Gold Powder, pre-blended lacquer and top-notch kintsugi brushes at a mid-range price point. Tailored for the curious mind seeking depth in the art of Kintsugi, this kit invites exploration and pursuit of perfection within imperfection—embodying the essence of Golden Joinery. As a token of appreciation to our backers, we proudly present this kit as our recommended choice for beginners.

Our Standard Kit simplifies the process with pre-blended black and red urushi, eliminating the need for raw urushi mixing and pigment powders to achieve color. This pre-mixed, filtered lacquer ensures a smoother, thin application. Perfect for various kintsugi layers, the blended urushi allows clear visibility of each added repair layer, emphasizing essential brush strokes. Red urushi offers a golden tone, while black urushi complements a silvery tone, depending on the precious metal powder used.

In addition, the kit includes a dual-ended palette tool for precision and flexibility, paired with a finely crafted Japanese artisan hand-brush. These brushes are crucial in Kintsugi, offering impeccable control and precision with their fine-tip design. Their elongated, slender natural hairs enable delicate tasks like drawing an infilled fragment's profile, painting its surface, and tracing thin cracks with unparalleled accuracy. Compared to shorter bristle brushes, these Kintsugi brushes ensure superior control and accuracy, enriching the essence of Kintsugi artistry within the kit.

This kit includes 0.4g of our premium 23.44K gold powder (*Blended For A Bright Shine) and 1g of silver powder, providing ample materials for a variety of kintsugi repairs.

ATTENTION:

Urushi (Urushiol, the non-dried lacquer) is an organic allergen that can cause skin rash upon contact, similar to poison oak reactions. Always wear suitable protective gloves and clothing. It's essential not to test your tolerance. In case of contact, cleanse the affected area thoroughly with vegetable oil and seek medical attention if necessary.

PLEASE READ THE DISCLAIMER INCLUDED WITH THE PRODUCT BEFORE USE.
