FAQ About The Impact of Kintsugi on Modern Craft and Philosophy
Are there alternatives to traditional Kintsugi materials?
Modern practitioners often use alternative materials to traditional Kintsugi for reasons of accessibility and cost. Epoxy resins are commonly used in place of urushi lacquer, and metallic powders or paints may substitute the precious metals used for highlighting. These alternatives can make Kintsugi more accessible to hobbyists while still embracing the art’s fundamental principles.
