We were introduced to the captivating world of Kintsugi during the Covid pandemic. For us, Kintsugi wasn't just an art form; it was a revelation—a message of beauty in imperfection and the profound significance of healing. 💛
Kintsugi embodied all that we held dear. It allowed us to create a product that championed upcycling, breathing new life into objects that bore the scars of time. The more we delved into Kintsugi, the more it kindled a fire within us. We found ourselves captivated, passionate about this ancient Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with precious materials. 🤩
CHIYU - WHAT'S IN A NAME?
CHIYU, our brand name, is derived from Japanese and symbolizes the healing journey following a physical trauma. We also like to view it as a metaphor for the transformative experiences we all encounter in life. ✨
The traditional Kintsugi repair technique is a challenging and time-consuming process to master. That’s why we created 3, easy to use, DIY Kintsugi kits allowing you to learn and practice the art of kintsugi in your everyday life without spending years to master it. ✅
