Description: 1-010b Japanese Matcha tea bowl and Boxed Beautiful Kintsugi Art From JapanDescriptionAbout Kintsugi Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese repair technique. It is a method of repairing broken pottery or porcelain with urushi lacquer and decorating it with gold, silver, or other metal powders. This technique not only repairs the object, but also creates a beautiful pattern or pattern that accentuates the repaired area rather than making it inconspicuous. As a result, the broken pottery is not merely repaired, but is celebrated as a "kintsugi work of art" with new beauty and value. In this store, restorations are carried out by Japanese kintsugi craftsmen.

It is a unique and valuable fusion of ancient tradition and modern aesthetics.AppearanceThis is a beautiful celadon porcelain matcha bowl. Unfortunately, this matcha bowl was broken. However, it was beautifully reborn using the kintsugi technique. The broken part was coated with lacquer, and the chipped part was also coated with lacquer. Then, raden (mother-of-pearl inlay), the highest decorative technique of maki-e, was applied. The sides of the mother-of-pearl inlay were bordered with white Urushi. This is a beautifully reborn matcha bowl. Maki-e is one of the traditional Japanese decorative techniques for lacquerware. Maki-e is a technique for decorating lacquerware by drawing pictures or patterns on the surface of the lacquer and sprinkling gold or silver powder on top of them. Maki-e began in the Heian period (794-1192) and developed through the Edo period (1603-1868). Maki-e is characterized by its elaborate and beautiful designs.ConditionSize w11.5cm h7.5cm Weight 224g A paulownia box for this matcha bowl is included.
