Product Description Kyo ware is a representative art from Kyoto. Also known as Kiyomizu ware, it is one of Japan's most representative wares.Syonzui represents a good omen. This piece is gorgeous, complete with blue, red, and gold. The artisan draws the pattern one by one with a brush.Since a number of artisans are involved in the process of completing the work, no two patterns are alike. This makes the piece a valuable work of art.However, chips and cracks occurred in the final stage of the original ware production, and it had no choice but to throw it away as it was.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, the Kintsugi parts look orthodox at first glance, but on the inside, blue urushi (Japanese lacquer) is painted over the Kintsugi to match the original blue pattern, making the Kintsugi look very natural. You can feel the beauty of imperfection from the Kintsugi.You can use as a cereal cup, or drink a cup of coffee and tea while feeling the season. Why don't you spend a wonderful 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.
