Hello. I'm Yoko, a Kintsugi teacher.
My job is Kintsugi, and I have Kintsugi classes all over Japan.
In my Kintsugi course, you can learn traditional Japanese Kintsugi techniques.
In this course, I will show you the concrete corrections and carefully explain how to fix them.
Everything I use uses real lacquer, gold and silver. I don't use glue and fake gold and fake silver.
In Course 3, I explained sabi-urushi as a filling material.
Course 4 will introduce new filling materials to fill deep chips and dents.
The name is kokuso-urushi.
The meaning of "ko" is wood, and the meaning of "kuso" is waste.
This kokuso-urushi is a material that was also used in old Japanese Buddhist statue.
I will also explain the relationship between the most major Buddhist statues in Japanese religious art and urushi.
You will know the strong connection between Japanese history and urushi.
During the recent Kintsugi boom, many people mistakenly came to believe that Kintsugi means a decorated vessel with gold that has simply been crushed with super glue.
Real Japanese Kintsugi, however, is a process for repairing cracks and other scratches with natural Urushi lacquer using a specific traditional technique involving the use of gold, silver, and other materials.
I hope that people who watch this online course will come to appreciate Kintsugi as a merging of the beauty and strength of lacquer, genuine gold, silver, etc, through traditional Japanese techniques.
I hope this video offers an opportunity to experience Japanese culture and the Japanese soul.

こんにちは。
金継ぎ講師のYokoです。私は金継ぎの仕事をしながら、日本各地で金継ぎ教室を開講しています。
私の金継ぎコースでは、日本の伝統的な金継ぎの技術を学ぶことが出来ます。このコースでは具体的な直しを見せながら、直す方法を丁寧に解説しています。使用する漆は本物の漆で、接着剤などは一切使用しません。
コース4では深い傷を埋めるための新しい充填材料をご説明します。
名前はコクソ漆です。koの意味は木であり、kusoの意味はクズです。
この漆の充填素材 コクソ漆は、日本の古い仏像建築にも使われていた素材です。
今回は日本の宗教美術の最もメジャーな仏像と漆の関係についても説明します。
日本の歴史と漆の強い結びつきを知ることになるでしょう。
最近の金継ブームで、接着剤と器を飾るために使用された金が金継であると誤って信じるようになりました。
しかし、本物の日本の金継ぎは、金、銀、漆などの材料を使用するという特定の伝統的な技法を使用して、亀裂やその他の傷を修復するプロセスです。このオンラインコースを見る方は、漆や本物の金、銀などの美しさや強さを、日本の伝統技法である金継ぎを通して知っていただきたいです。
そして日本文化を体験する機会として、また日本人のこころを知る機会として、是非ともご利用いただきたいと思います。
