Yobi-tsugi : Filling in a missing piece
This method avoids using a lot of gold but looks nice.
Picture
Using tile cutters nibble the replacement piece to fit the hole.
Picture
Insert and fill the gaps with putty. Carry on with repair as normal.
​An opaque glass piece could be used so light can come through.

Then finish with metal powder. This one is 24kt gold leaf powder finish.

No metal powder used, simple black urushi finish.
