Kintsugi mends broken pottery with lacquer and gold, leaving the cracks on show. True urushi lacquer takes weeks to cure, so short classes in Namba often use a faster modern resin; ask which one you’re getting if it matters to you.
Repair pottery with gold in a guided Namba kintsugi workshop. Learn the craft, choose a plate, and take home a handmade Osaka souvenir.
