About me

I've learned Kintsugi techniques from a master at a Kintsugi restoration studio in Kyoto. Currently I work as an independent kintsugi practitioner by receiving kintsugi repair orders from private people and opening traditional kintsugi experiences for tourists. I have restored vintage pottery, wooden Buddha statues, trays, and modern artistic potteries.
