Tonoko yellow is a traditional Japanese clay powder used in the preparation of kintsugi and urushi lacquer work. It serves as a base for filling, smoothing, and stabilizing repairs on ceramics.

 Made from finely ground natural materials, this tonoko allows for a homogeneous surface before the gold or silver finishing stages.

 - Ideal for traditional and modern kintsugi
 - Excellent adhesion with urushi
 - Fine texture and easy to work with
 - Natural product imported from Japan

 Use: Mix with urushi to create a repair paste (sabi)
