Product Description
<About Kintsugi Parts>
In order to create a new sustainable value, Mr. Suginaka, an urushi (Japanese lacquer) Meister, repaired the chips using Kintsugi, a unique Japanese ware repair method.
In this piece, more gold is used than in a normal Kintsugi. The contrast of blue and gold looks beautiful. Gold has the meaning of expressing Wabi-sabi while maintaining a sense of luxury and elegance in Japan.
<About the Original Vessel>
Not only famous ware and studio/workshop vessels can be used for Kintsugi.
It is a broken piece of unknown pottery purchased from a vintage store, but that's why we were able to freely apply Kintsugi to it.
<Thoughts Behind the Piece>
By applying traditional Kintsugi (metal splicing) to the vessel with Chinese character written on, we aimed to create vessels that convey the ancient Japanese aesthetic of beauty in the present.
Through imperfect beauty in Kintsugi, we hope that you will be able to live a mindful life, embracing imperfections and changes by projecting yourself deeply into this piece.
You can drink Sake while feeling the season. Why don't you spend a wonderful Sake time with one-of-a-kind Kintsugi ware?
All materials we use are natural and do not have any risks of toxicity.
The piece comes with a Paulownia box, including care advises and a certificate of origin and quality.
