If you have any questions regarding the kintsugi procedure, please ask them in the Kintsugi Forum on my official website! chimahaga.com/community/my/kintsugi-forum I have not been able to check the RUclips comments recently because there are too many, so I will not be able to answer your questions here.
Hello, dear Chimahaga. I love the two videos of yours I have watched so far, they have detailed explanations, beautiful music, and breathtaking results. Is it possible to kindly have the detailed list of the necessary materials in the description? Thank you.
Ahh this seems perfect for what i need to do. I have a broken vase that is normally filled w/ water that is empty & dry right now. I wanted to fix the cracks w/ Kintsugi but I was worried that the water will dissolve the other materials. Of course I'll wait til it dries to fill it up but I was worried the work would be for nothing in the end. I don't have any experience in this field yet. So my question is, if this is food safe it is probably going to hold in any liquids that could possibly be in a food bowl - so I can peobably use this same type of urushi mix to fix my plant vase & not worry about leaking?
Hello, I saw on your site that you can buy a tube of "Black urushi 5g", but you don't use it in your videos, how and for what application can you use Black urushi?
Sorry for the late reply. The black urushi is used when repairing with silver or when repairing with less mistakes. I am preparing tutorial videos for them, but at this time I am only showing how to do it without black urushi.
Yes, I do not wait. I know some people introduce the method of waiting a little before applying gold dust, that is letting the bengara urushi half dry to make the gold dust stick better. However, it is difficult to determine how long to wait. It depends on how thick you apply the urushi and the humidity of the room. More importantly, you can apply gold dust beautifully without waiting if you are conscious of applying it thinly.
@@chimahaga Thank you for your kind reply and your helpful videos - I use silver more than gold and I use black urushi under, but that is very difficult to put on thinly - would you still put the silver on straight away?
@@nctwix-pr8ex I apply a thin coat of black urushi and immediately apply silver. By the way, there is no big difference in the handling of black urushi and bengara urushi, but why do you feel that black urushi is more difficult to apply thinly?
@@nctwix-pr8ex It is true that the consistency varies slightly from urushi to urushi, but even if the consistency is strong, it should be possible to apply thin coats by applying slowly and carefully. Although it is difficult to give accurate advice without seeing the work in progress, the first premise is that the 2nd coat must be completely flat by the time of finishing in order to apply a thin coat. If the 2nd coat is completely flat, it should be possible to apply a thin coat by spreading it out little by little, even if it is sticky.
Simply put, it is sand. More accurately, it is closest to diatomaceous earth powder. It has been used as a base for traditional Japanese lacquerware for a long time.

Indeed, it is easier to understand. I will list them later. Thank you very much.

Hello, can this piece be used for food consumption? Isn't it toxic? Thank you so much.

@@chimahaga ok ! Thanks !
May I clarify something in your video - do you apply the gold without waiting an hour or so since putting the last layer of red urushi?
Yes, I do not wait.
I know some people introduce the method of waiting a little before applying gold dust, that is letting the bengara urushi half dry to make the gold dust stick better.
However, it is difficult to determine how long to wait.
