About This Product

Diamond File

A diamond file is an extremely hard tool featuring diamond particles electroplated onto its surface.

Grinding Power for Smoothly Shaping Both Ceramics and Urushi

It can smoothly refine the edges of hard ceramics that standard files cannot affect. Additionally, it allows you to level the surfaces of fully cured, rock-hard sabi-urushi or kokuso-urushi quickly and with minimal effort.

Uses in Kintsugi

This tool is primarily used for "chamfering" (lightly grinding the cross-sections of the vessel to be repaired). This process increases adhesive strength by making it easier for the urushi to bond and helps the urushi adhere better by roughening the surface of the glaze.

Recommended for

This is recommended for those looking to improve their work efficiency or for those who have purchased other kits that do not include a diamond file. It ensures smooth progress for tasks that would be time-consuming with sandpaper alone.

What is Kintsugi?

Kintsugi—— a traditional Japanese restoration technique passed down for over 500 years. Broken vessels are carefully joined with urushi, a natural lacquer, and finished with gold. Rather than hiding the seams, kintsugi highlights them, giving the piece renewed life through its golden lines.

At the heart of this practice lies wabi-sabi, a Japanese aesthetic that finds beauty in the imperfect and the transient. Rather than seeing breakage as a flaw, it is regarded as a unique chapter in the vessel’s story. Kintsugi philosophy offers a quiet sense of healing in our modern lives.
