  1. I'd life to know what specific glue she's using as it's my experience that all epoxy glues are considered toxic for anything that contacts food.

  2. Very nice video, thank you!

  3. Question: Can you eat food with a kintsugi plate or is that considered inappropriate to the Japanese culture?

  4. OK…can I use this technique for a a broken glass bottle?

  5. Your presentation is simple, elegant, and thorough. You have a gentle, clear way of presenting and explaining. thank you. I was fortunate enough to do gold-leafing for a beautiful buddhist shrine room many years ago. Where do I purchase the proper glue, and gold dust. I have a very little cloisonne buddha which was dropped. i would like to do this technique to fix it. with appreciation for your art. I live in Central Europe.

  6. Does she have her own YouTube channel?

  7. My ma not a gold type lady, shed still be pissed I dropped her bowl.

  8. Thanks, wanted also do fix with more meaning and finally found a video with some better explainings!

    Guy from the past: ノಠ益ಠノ彡┻━┻

  15. I'm reading into how to do this, since I had a plate break for me. I found out that you can use gold mica powder. However, I found that that mica powder comes in different colors. So my question for the people who do this tradition modernly is, do you also use other colors aside from gold?
