Hi, I'm Takamago Kintsugi Lab!
So good to have you here.

I am Takamago Kintsugi Lab. I am a Kintsugi blogger who has been fascinated by traditional Japanese pottery since childhood, especially the stamps and Kutani ware represented by Koimari. I'm still practicing every day, but I'm having fun learning the techniques. We would like to provide useful information to Kintsugi enthusiasts, grow together with them, and make Kintsugi more popular.
