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. The gold and blue lozenge-shape of this piece form a flower pattern, and it is an auspicious pattern handed down from ancient times in Japan.The artisans draw the patterns of cherry blossoms and autumn leaves 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. Applying a more creative version of the usually known Kintsugi makes this piece gem that lets you feel the four seasons. You can also feel the beauty of imperfection from the Kintsugi.You can drink Sake while feeling the season. Of course, it is also recommended for coffee and tea. 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.
