- quote
Kintsugi (金継ぎ) (Japanese: golden joinery) or
Kintsukuroi (金繕い) (Japanese: golden repair)
is the Japanese art of fixing broken pottery with lacquer resin dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum a method similar to the maki-e technique.
As a philosophy it speaks to breakage and repair becoming part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
- - More in the WIKIPEDIA !

The yakitsugiya walked around in Edo, with a pole on his shoulders, carrying the tools on one side and a fire pot on the other.



Repairing broken bowls, plates and other pottery by baking, burning it again with a kind of glue, sometimes adding metal (usually gold) to it.
Others used urushi うるし laquer
or a white powder called shiratamako 白玉粉 with 鉛 lead.
funori ふのり seaweed glue was also used.


He called out

When someone asked for his service, he would sit down on the spot and start working.

お菊と焼継屋 O-Kiku and the Yakitsugiya



歌川広重 Utagawa Hiroshige

This is a scene from the famous ghost story

Sara yashiki　皿屋敷 "the Dish Mansion" - where the ghost of O-Kiku comes out of a well.

- quote -
Banchō Sarayashiki or Bancho Sarayashi (番町皿屋敷 The Dish Mansion at Banchō)
is a Japanese ghost story (kaidan) of broken trust and broken promises, leading to a dismal fate.

The story of Okiku and the Nine Plates is one of the most famous in Japanese folklore, and continues to resonate with audiences today.

The story of Okiku is an old one, whose true origins are unknown; however, it first appeared under the title Bancho Sarayashiki in July 1741 at the Toyotakeza theater. The familiar ghost legend had been adapted into a ningyō jōruri production by Asada Iccho and Tamenaga Tarobei I. Like many successful puppet shows, a Kabuki version followed and in September 1824, Banchō Sarayashiki was staged at the Naka no Shibai theater starring Otani Tomoemon II and Arashi Koroku IV in the roles of Aoyama Daihachi and Okiku.

A one-act Kabuki version was created in 1850 by Segawa Joko III, under the title Minoriyoshi Kogane no Kikuzuki, which debuted at the Nakamura-za theater and starred Ichikawa Danjūrō VIII and Ichikawa Kodanji IV in the roles of Tetsuzan and Okiku. This one-act adaptation was not popular, and quickly folded, until it was revived in June 1971 at the Shimbashi Embujō theater, starring the popular combination of Kataoka Takao and Bando Tamasaburō V in the roles of Tetsuzan and Okiku.

The most familiar and popular adaptation of Banchō Sarayashiki, written by Okamoto Kido, debuted in February 1916 at the Hongō-za theater, starring Ichikawa Sadanji II and Ichikawa Shōchō II in the roles of Lord Harima and Okiku. It was a modern version of the classic ghost story in which the horror tale was replaced by a deep psychological study of the two characters' motivations.
