Kintsugi repair kit

245 kr

Kintsugi is a Japanese technique for repairing broken ceramics, where the shards are joined with gold or silver lacquer. It stems from the Wabi-Sabi philosophy, which is about seeing beauty in imperfection.

When the broken pieces are reassembled, they create a whole that is more beautiful than it was before. Beauty is thus found in the flawed, rather than focusing on the fact that the ceramic no longer appears in its original state. Flaws become a strength and a part of its history.

Each set contains enough adhesive to repair up to 10 items, depending on their size.

Dishwasher safe: No

One set is sufficient for approximately 1–10 repairs, depending on the size of the repair. It can be used on most hard materials, including glass, wood, marble, hard plastic, and, of course, ceramics, stoneware, and porcelain.

We recommend washing repaired items by hand. Always work in a well-ventilated area or near an open window, as the adhesive may emit a strong odor.

Read the enclosed instructions carefully before using the product.

Humades’ kintsugi kit is inspired by the ancient Japanese craft of kintsugi. The traditional technique is highly sophisticated, but this kit makes it possible for anyone to try it.

Food safety (kintsugi)

We recommend that you primarily use parts that have been repaired with Kintsugi as decorative items.
The Kintsugi set does not have an official food approval.
It is important that the mixing ratio between the two components is 1:1 and that the glue hardens sufficiently in min. 48 hours. It is recommended that the glue does not come into contact with anything hotter than 100 degrees.
Never put the repaired part in the oven or microwave
We recommend hand washing Kintsugi parts, as the glue can be discolored by certain washing programs and detergents.

The beauty of imperfection

THE STORY BEHIND KINTSUGI

Kintsugi has its roots in Japan in the late 14th century. According to the story, the technique originated when a piece of damaged ceramics was sent to China for repair. When it returned, it had been mended with metal staples – a solution that worked, but was not particularly beautiful.

This inspired Japanese artisans to develop a new method, where cracks and breaks were highlighted instead of hidden. By repairing ceramics with a lacquer mixed with gold, they created a technique that made the damage part of the object's history and character.

Over time, kintsugi became a highly valued art form, and the story goes that some collectors even deliberately broke valuable ceramics so they could be repaired with the characteristic golden seams.

About Seramikku

At Seramikku, you will find hand-picked Japanese functional art in unique and limited quantities.

The brand was born out of our interest in bringing Japanese and Scandinavian styles together and bringing a piece of Japan into Danish homes. We want to make the Japandi style accessible and inspiring for you by offering unique Japanese items that fit into the Scandinavian interior and food culture.

We noticed that others also found the combination of Danish and Japanese completely unique, and that is where the idea to start Seramikku came from.
