Amboyna Burl Kintsugi Urushi Coating Limited
This was released in limited quantities in 2009 and sold out, but as it was beautiful but had some blemishes and rough areas, I couldn’t bring myself to throw it away and so I kept it carefully.
We will now release it in limited quantities, finished using the “kintsugi” restoration technique, which uses urushi and decorates with gold powder.
Material
It is Burl that can be found near the base of a large tree (Fabaceae Family) with a tree age of 1000 years or more called Amboyna.
Coat urushi more than 18 times to prevent contamination and cracking.
Origin: Laos
What is Kintsugi?
Kintsugi is a ceramic repair technique that uses urushi to glue and decorate with gold powder.
Kintsugi is a technique that is based on the idea that “it’s too good to throw away, we want to do something about it.” Kintsugi is a Japanese culture that appreciates the “beauty of imperfection,” or wabi-sabi, in which the beauty of imperfection increases when something is repaired.
