Discover the Japanese Art of Kintsugi

Kintsugi, derived from the Japanese words "kin" (gold) and "tsugi" (to mend), is the ancient art of restoring broken pottery with natural Urushi lacquer and enhancing it with powdered metals such as pure gold. While kintsugi is widely known, it is actually just one of many traditional techniques in Japanese urushi lacquer art. Rooted in the philosophy of wabi-sabi, kintsugi celebrates imperfection, resilience, and renewal, turning cracks into unique and beautiful features that honor the history of each piece.

This piece has been meticulously restored by a highly skilled Japanese lacquer craftsman using urushi lacquer and genuine silver powder in the time-honored tradition of kintsugi.
