Fascinated by the traditional Japanese technique of kintsugi, which restores broken pottery with lacquer and gold powder to create a new and unique beauty, I have been hosting kintsugi classes in Tokyo since 2012. In 2014, I participated in a collaborative exhibition in Paris and since then I am regularly organizing exhibitions showcasing my students’ works, sharing the beauty of kintsugi with many people. Additionally, drawn to the charm of urushi (Japanese lacquer), which is a key material in kintsugi, I am now involved in planting urushi trees as part of my activities.
