Taiki – Traditional Polishing Tool for Kintsugi and Maki-e

The Taiki is a traditional Japanese tool used for the final polishing and burnishing stages of kintsugi and maki-e. After the gold or silver powder has been applied and properly cured, the Taiki is used to gently polish the surface, enhancing the lustre and brilliance of the metallic finish.

  • Handle finished with a thin layer of Urushi lacquer for a comfortable and refined grip
  • Each piece is unique, with slight variations in shape and appearance due to the natural materials used
  • Suitable for delicate polishing and finishing work

The Taiki is part of the traditional toolkit used in kintsugi and maki-e, helping to achieve a smooth, lustrous and refined metallic finish.
