ABOUT

Handing down the culture of handcrafts and natural materials to the future

HEIANDO-Kyoto is a lacquer art restoration studio founded by Hiro Kiyokawa, a lacquer art restoration master and representative. We do the restoration of Kintsugi and lacquer art by the knowledge and experience of Kiyokawa, who has been involved in the restoration of architecture, Buddhist statues, ceramics, lacquer ware, antique furniture, antiques, etc. as an inheritor of the traditional techniques established in the Edo period.
We are working to pass on to the future natural materials that can be returned to the earth and the craftsmanship that has been accumulated over the past millennium.

HIRO KIYOKAWA

Kiyokawa has been working as a “lacquer art restorer” using lacquer as a successor to the traditional techniques established in the Edo period for over 50 years.
