Read the manualBegin with clean, dry ceramic pieces. Mix equal parts (1:1) of resin and hardener for 30 to 45 seconds, then apply a thin layer along the edges and join the parts. While the epoxy is still tacky (you have 5 to 7 minutes of working time), brush on your chosen mica powder. Let the piece rest for 24 hours without moving it. Full step-by-step instructions are in the manual.
Our epoxy resin glue is formulated to meet FDA 21 CFR §175.105 for indirect food contact (cold or dry foods only, once fully cured). The epoxy putty is not for food contact. Repaired pieces are not microwave, oven or dishwasher safe. It is beginner-friendly, unlike traditional urushi lacquer. Read the full guidelines in the manual.
Any ceramic item, bowls, mugs, plates, vases, or decor pieces. If it’s made of ceramic and broken, it can be restored with Kivanu.
Phoenix Green is Kivanu’s exclusive mica pigment, inspired by Japanese folklore. It symbolizes renewal and individuality, a modern twist on the traditional gold and silver finishes of Kintsugi.
The hands-on work is short, but the epoxy needs 24 hours to set and 72 hours (3 days) to reach full strength. Patience is part of the ritual, the wait is worth the result.
Absolutely. The Kivanu kit is a mindful DIY gift for birthdays, anniversaries or self-care. It combines creativity, Japanese philosophy and a beautiful result they can use every day.
Many people find kintsugi a calming, mindful activity. The slow, repetitive motions of mixing and joining invite focus, like a creative meditation. Kivanu is a craft kit, not a medical product or treatment.

The word Kintsugi means "golden joinery". It's the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with gold — and a philosophy that says breakage is not the end of an object's story, but a turning point.
