During the recent Kintsugi boom, many people mistakenly came to believe that Kintsugi means a decorated vessel with gold that has simply been crushed with super glue.Real Japanese Kintsugi, however, is a process for repairing cracks and other scratches with natural Urushi lacquer using a specific traditional technique involving the use of gold, silver, and other materials.
I hope that people who watch this online course will come to appreciate Kintsugi as a merging of the beauty and strength of lacquer, genuine gold, silver, etc, through traditional Japanese techniques.
I hope this video offers an opportunity to experience Japanese culture and the Japanese soul.

こんにちは。
金継ぎ講師のYokoです。私は金継ぎの仕事をしながら、日本各地で金継ぎ教室を開講しています。
私の金継ぎコースでは、日本の伝統的な金継ぎの技術を学ぶことが出来ます。このコースでは具体的な直しを見せながら、直す方法を丁寧に解説しています。使用する漆は本物の漆で、接着剤などは一切使用しません。コース４では深い傷を埋めるための新しい充填材料をご説明します。
名前はコクソ漆です。koの意味は木であり、kusoの意味はクズです。この漆の充填素材 コクソ漆は、日本の古い仏像建築にも使われていた素材です。
今回は日本の宗教美術の最もメジャーな仏像と漆の関係についても説明します。日本の歴史と漆の強い結びつきを知ることになるでしょう。最近の金継ブームで、接着剤と器を飾るために使用された金が金継であると誤って信じるようになりました。しかし、本物の日本の金継ぎは、金、銀、漆などの材料を使用するという特定の伝統的な技法を使用して、亀裂やその他の傷を修復するプロセスです。このオンラインコースを見る方は、漆や本物の金、銀などの美しさや強さを、日本の伝統技法である金継ぎを通して知っていただきたいです。そして日本文化を体験する機会として、また日本人のこころを知る機会として、是非ともご利用いただきたいと思います。
In this course, I will show you the concrete corrections and carefully explain how to fix them.
Everything I use uses real lacquer, gold and silver. I don't use glue and fake gold and fake silver.
So, before taking my course, you need to study the knowledge of Kintsugi and lacquer.
It is listed in Section 1 of each course. Let's check it carefully.
In Course 3, I explained sabi-urushi as a filling material.
Course 4 will introduce new filling materials to fill deep chips and dents.
The name is kokuso-urushi.
The meaning of ko is wood, and the meaning of kuso is waste.
This kokuso-urushi is a material that was also used in old Japanese Buddhist statue.
I will also explain the relationship between the most major Buddhist statues in Japanese religious art and urushi.
You will know the strong connection between Japanese history and urushi.
Now, let me explain the contents of Course 4.
Let's master the filling materials sabi-urushi and kosoku-urushi firmly.
Please also aim to understand how to make these two and the purpose of use.
Doing so will increase the range of damage that can be repaired with Kintsugi.
Other than this course, I will give a lecture on how to fix using kokuso-urushi. Let's remember one by one without rushing
I will explain the tools required for this course4.
Kintsugi uses many tools.Let's get used to handling tools.
There are new tools and materials from this course. Please check each item for details.
I will explain about kokuso-urushi. Use sabi-urushi to fill small chips.
However, sabi-urushi is not used for large chips, deep gaps, and molding of lost parts.
Why is that? I will explain the reason....
（1） Differences in how to use the filling materials sabi-urushi and kokuso-urushi.
There are sabi-urushi and kokuso-urushi as lacquer fillers to fill the missing parts.When to use kokuso-urushi?
You will be wondering.
This table is a guide for using sabi-urushi and kokuso-urushi properly.
Check the condition of the seramic you want to fix and decide which one to use.
How to make and store kokuso-urushi
kokuso-urushi is a filling that forms the basis of the missing part.
Therefore, after filling and curing kokuso-urushi, the flow is to fill sabi-urushi on top of it.
It is also possible to mold lost parts by making a base.
It is a work process...
How to make and store sabi-urusi
Fill the missing part of the bowl with Sabi-urushi.
This is the most important process before finishing and has the purpose of smoothing the surface.
Polishing
Polishing: Polishing is the final stage in the base-coat-making process and is very important.
Whether the finish is clean or not depends on the polishing process. The beauty of the finish depends on the polishing process.
A smoother surface will result in a finer finish once the gold has been applied. A good polish will increase the degree of completion, so do your best and avoid compromise.
How to handle tools /spatula, jyouban（board for kneading)
Spatulas and jyouban are for the first time tools used in this course.
This time we will talk about spatula and jyouban.
Teaching Material
Oil is a natural enemy of Urushi.
Urushi is sensitive to oil, so start by removing the oil from the tools.
About Kijigatame which means preprocessing
Kijigatame means creating a lacquer film on the bonding surface to enhance adhesion.
This is a very important task so be sure to do it.
How to make kokus-urushi is introduced separately.
Please check that video.
Fill with Sabi-urushi.
Fill the defect with the kneaded Sabi-urushi.
Here are two points to note.
Polishing:
Tokusa is used to smooth the Sabi-urushi.
Tokusa can scrape only the Sabi-urushi part and smooth it without damaging the vessel.
However, please note that it may be scratched if you polishing it with a strong force.
First base-coat lacquer (for coating)
Be careful to draw thin lines.
Also, be careful not to stick out from the crack line.
If your line sticks out of the crack line, the next step (polishing) is to trim the line.
Polish the part that was lacquered last time.
Use # 2000 sandpaper for polishing.
Soak a little water before polishing.
The reason for polishing is the removal of air bubbles and excess.
Apply third base-coat lacquer.
Ｗhen finishing with silver, use either Kuro-Urushi (black lacquer) or Shiro-Urushi (white lacquer). Draw another lacquer line over the base-coat lacquer line to enable gluing of the gold/silver Keshifun onto the mended part.
Step 3: Powdering gold or silver “Keshi-Shiage” Matte Finish
In this course I will show you how to Keshi-Shiage finishing process.
In the Keshi-Shiage finishing process, silver Keshifun is used.
Completion
After drying in the Muro,
Wipe off excess powder around the vessel with a damp tissue.
if gold is removed, it may be possible to change to a silver finish.
I would like you to learn how to kintsugi, repair scratches, and continue using it.
Points of this course
In Course 4, you learned about kokuso-urushi.
The difference in how to use sabi-urushi and kokuso-urushi is a very important part of the lecture.Let's review that part.
The next step is to fix the broken.
To repair a broken ceramics, make a urushi material for adhesion called mugi-urushi.
To use mugi-urushi, you need glue made by mixing water with flour and kneading it.
By mixing the glue and urushi, you can make a mugi-urushi with adhesiveness.
