My Recent Kintsugi Work

Happy 2020 to everyone from Japan! We are in our New Year’s holidays now.  I came back to update my blog constantly again!

Today I want to show you my recent kintsugi work.

This photo is from the bottom of a hand-painted piece that my Dresden teacher, Alfredo’s made  which was broken by the earthquake in 2018.

 

 

I bought these pieces at Gojyozaka porcelain festival last summer to fix them. When I bought them, they were broken pieces, and I got them very cheap.

The porcelain is called Kiyomizuyaki in Japanese, and the perfect ones are expensive.

 

 

 

 

The last one is an antique. I got this at an antique shop in Kyoto.

 

I think I am lucky to live close to Kyoto because the city is a porcelain city, and I can get lots of broken pieces for my kintsugi work.

 

A couple of weeks ago, I finished my first gintsugi work. Gintsugi is similar to kintsugi, but gintsugi is repaired  with silver instead of gold . You will see it soon!
