Very informative video, thank you! One question - this is marufun gold and technique, right? Can yo do the same raw-urushi and tishuing-off in keshifun technique?

Hello. I always watch your videos and learn a lot. Thank you for uploading them.
The art knife (round type) and the spatula that you use — which brand are they, and where can they be purchased?

Very helpful and well made videos! Do you ever work on pieces someone has already tried to repair? Removing the glue and starting over using kintsugi instead, I mean.
And do you ever use the kakete (piece) method?

Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing it!
I have been following you here since I bought you the kintsugi repair kit!
Could you please let me know the particle size in microns you are using in this piece, and which number it corresponds to on the 1 to 17 scale size used when buying Maru-fun in a shop? Thank you!
