Kinkeshi is a variety of gold powder used in kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken vessels. It is applied atop lacquer in the finishing stage to add decoration and shine to the repaired area.
This product contains 0.1 g (0.0035 oz) of kinkeshi, approximately enough to cover a thin line of lacquer measuring about 10 cm (3.9 in) in length. It is composed of 97% pure gold.
For those looking for an authentic kintsugi experience, the Kintsugi MUSUBI Craft Kit may be purchased separately.
