Product Description Kyo ware is a representative art from Kyoto. Also known as Kiyomizu ware, it is one of Japan's most representative wares.This piece is made by an artisan who paints the flowers 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. He added a tree pattern in the Kintsugi that further enhances the original gold color. This small cup for sake is a cute gem. You can feel the beauty of imperfection from the Kintsugi.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, a mini thanks gift, and a certificate of origin and quality.
