Kintsugi_LA was established in Anaheim, CA in July 2021 with the concept of ""Providing a platform for many to easily experience Japanese culture"".
Japan has a rich history of over 2500 years, with many traditions and customs deeply ingrained in its society and Kintsugi, the art of repairing broken pottery with gold, is one such tradition.
However, as is the case in traditional skills in many cultures, Kintsugi techniques are also facing a crisis of not being inherited and are at risk of being lost.
Our mission is to preserve this beautiful art form for future generations and to share not only the Kintsugi experience but also the philosophy behind it which involves mending oneself to achieve a fulfilling life. This is why we began our business by offering Kintsugi workshops.
Our workshops are regularly held in the LA area, and in other cities such as San Diego, San Francisco, Irvine, and Trance on an irregular basis.
To date, we held over 150 workshops, and more than 600 participants were attended.
In addition to group workshops, we now offer activities such as private lessons, traditional lacquer workshops, Kintsugi repair services, corporate training seminars, and Kintsugi instructor training courses.
Last year, Kintsugi_LA also began supporting local companies as a marketing adviser to promote Japanese the culture and spirit.
We believe that connecting people with people and culture while continuing to inherit culture allows us to lead fulfilling lives.
Our goal is to create a community that can support others to achieve the life.
