About This Product

Imari Ware × Kintsugi

Imari Ware is a ceramic tradition centered in Arita, Saga Prefecture, with a history of being exported overseas from the port of Imari during the Edo period. Its delicate blue-and-white designs and vibrant colored glazes have captivated people around the world. Repaired through Kintsugi, this piece embodies the Japanese aesthetic of finding beauty in imperfection — making every break a part of its one-of-a-kind character.

Matte Gold Powder Finish

The final stage of kintsugi uses pure matte gold powder. Its subtle, refined luster harmonizes beautifully with the piece's subdued tones, elevating the repair from a "flaw" into a distinctive "feature."

Meiji-Era Antique Vessel

Crafted over 100 years ago during the Meiji era (1868–1912) , this piece has witnessed generations of everyday life. Kintsugi, applied by modern hands, has given it a new layer of beauty. Each time you hold it, you can sense the atmosphere of a distant era and the history that has quietly accumulated within it.

What is Kintsugi?

Kintsugi—— a traditional Japanese restoration technique passed down for over 500 years. Broken vessels are carefully joined with urushi, a natural lacquer, and finished with gold. Rather than hiding the seams, kintsugi highlights them, giving the piece renewed life through its golden lines.

At the heart of this practice lies wabi-sabi, a Japanese aesthetic that finds beauty in the imperfect and the transient. Rather than seeing breakage as a flaw, it is regarded as a unique chapter in the vessel’s story. Kintsugi philosophy offers a quiet sense of healing in our modern lives.
