Kintsugi Tools, Tips, Tutorial: Carving and Adjusting Bamboo Spatulas

Among the many reasons we love practicing traditional kintsugi is the beauty of the handmade tools involved, such as the authentic maki-e cat-hair brushes and bamboo tube sieves. These tools are not just functional; they’re a vital part of the kintsugi tradition, enhancing both the experience and the final result of your work.


We've noticed that many serious learners gradually replace their basic kintsugi kit tools with higher-quality, handcrafted supplies that enhance their practice and stand the test of time. If you're passionate about kintsugi, upgrading your tools is a natural progression that can significantly improve your results.

It's all handmade! You can customize and adjust the bamboo spatulas

Be confident in customizing your kintsugi tools.

Traditional kintsugi tools are mostly handmade by the artisans and cannot be found in stores. When we make our own kintsugi bamboo spatula set, we intentionally left room for personal adjustments. We understand that each artisan has unique habits and preferences, and being able to modify or customize your own tools adds a deeper level of meaning to your craft.


For those who obtained our spatulas, how have you adapted them to suit your needs? Have you customized them to better fit your techniques? We hope these tools become your steadfast companions on your kintsugi journey, supporting you for many years to come.


To help you get the most out of your bamboo spatulas, we've created a short demo video for those still experimenting and finding comfort with these handmade tools. It takes only 5-10 minutes to turn them truly your own—craft your personal touch into each one, and let them become exclusively YOUR kintsugi tools!



Hope you can share with us your experience and experiment in modifying our handcrafted bamboo spatulas!
