Traditional Kintsugi Workshop
For KrisFlyer members only
Highlights
Kintsugi is a traditional technique that adds a meaningful touch to damaged
objects.
This technique symbolically represents the Japanese aesthetic of embracing
imperfection and the spirit of valuing things.
The restored object is transformed into a completely new and unique piece
while retaining the story of the past,
so that it can be used with love and care again.
Choose a vessel and learn the technique of restoring it using gold powder.
During the drying process, you will enjoy tea and sweets served in vessels
created and repaired by the instructor. While sharing tea, you will also have
the chance to see and hear about his wide range of works, including Buddhist
altars, and learn about the fascinating history of traditional crafts.
The restored vessels will be placed in a wooden box for you to take home.
*The original traditional technique of hon-kintsugi, using lacquer, is a process that takes at least one month to complete, so it cannot be done during this experience; however, you will be taught the process.
