New Kintsugi Works

New Stories, Newly Restored

Our latest Kintsugi works—fresh expressions of transformation and presence. Each vessel offers a brief encounter; once sold, it rarely returns in the same form.

As with all our pieces, each work arrives in a branded paulownia box with a washi-paper certificate of authenticity.

Authentic Japanese Kintsugi Artistry

  • A Japanese artisan restoring a blue matcha bowl with natural urushi lacquer, carefully joining broken ceramic fragments in the traditional Kintsugi method.

    Urushi Lacquer Craftsmanship

    Restored in Japan with natural urushi, each piece is built through layered lacquer and careful polishing using time-honored methods. You can also view a short restoration video on every product page.

  • A lacquer artist painting delicate petal motifs with a maki-e brush inside a white floral matcha bowl, combining decorative urushi art with Kintsugi restoration.

    Kintsugi’s Artful Finishes

    We restore classical Kintsugi using pure gold, but also finish pieces in silver or colored urushi to best suit each vessel. To enrich the expression, we may decorate using lacquer arts such as raden or maki-e, giving each scar renewed character and imperfect beauty.

  • Hand holding a restored Oribe-style matcha bowl with authentic urushi Kintsugi, photographed beneath cherry blossoms—highlighting Japanese artistry and the quiet beauty of renewal.

    Ethically Sourced & Food-Safe

    Each piece begins as a valuable vessel—damaged yet worth preserving. Ethically sourced and carefully restored with natural urushi using traditional methods, made food-safe for daily use.

The Art Behind Every Restoration

Each restored vessel carries its own quiet story—shaped by skilled hands, natural materials, and the passage of time. Thoughtfully renewed to be lived with, not just admired.
