FAQ
Can I request repairs from overseas?
Yes, you can. Please note that you will be responsible for round-trip shipping costs. Shipping from overseas to Japan can be quite expensive.
When shipping, please pack your items securely with cushioning materials. Insufficient packaging may cause further damage during transit. If new damage occurs during shipping, additional charges beyond the original estimate may apply.
How should I ship my items?
We will provide the shipping address when we send your estimate. Please note that you will be responsible for round-trip shipping costs.
When shipping, carefully wrap each fragment individually with cushioning materials. Inadequate packaging may result in further damage during transit.
Can urushi cause a rash?
The possibility of fully cured urushi causing a rash is extremely low.
However, we cannot assume any responsibility for symptoms related to urushi. If you have a severe urushi allergy, please use our service at your own discretion.
