Product Description
<About Kintsugi Parts>
The broken pieces are all joined by only natural urushi (Japanese lacquer) using traditional Kintsugi techniques rather than chemical adhesives.
The lines are simply applied to make the kintsugi stand out.
Mr. Suginaka aimed to create a typical Kintsugi pattern as displayed in a museum.
<About the Original Vessel>
This is a slightly smaller Macha bowl that came out of an old warehouse.
When it was found it was broken and was going to be discarded.
It is one of the most authentic and popular Matcha bowls.
<Thoughts Behind the Piece>
This piece is created with the hope that people would enjoy the Kintsugi itself, which is even more beautiful than new one.
As a symbol of rebirth, you can feel the essence of Kintsugi of this piece.
May you feel a beauty of the imperfection in Kintsugi.
All materials we use are natural and do not have any risks of toxicity.
The piece comes with a Paulownia box, including care advises, a giveaway, and a certificate of origin and quality.
