Kintsugi mends broken pottery with lacquer and gold so the cracks become the pattern. Real urushi lacquer takes weeks to cure and can irritate skin, so most Tokyo workshops use a quick-setting modern version and send you home with a finished piece. Ask which method you’re getting before you book.
Repair a ceramic plate with gold in a hands-on Kintsugi workshop in Asakusa, with English-speaking instruction and a keepsake to take home.
