Kintsugi mends broken pottery with lacquer and gold, and the repair is meant to show. True urushi lacquer takes weeks to cure, so short workshops often use a quicker modern substitute; ask which you’re getting if you want the real thing.
Try Kyoto kintsugi near Gion: repair pottery with lacquer and gold powder, learn the idea behind the art, and take home a handmade keepsake.
