Field notes
Shen Su says his tea practice began with tea and meditation in Japan in 2009 and later took shape under a teacher in Taiwan, where he now lives and works. The site separates kintsugi from woodworking and links to recent work on Instagram. For repairs, it asks prospective clients to send photos and a short description before Shen provides an estimate.
