This softly coloured bowl features a more complex Kintsugi repair, combining fine fracture lines with a replaced section along the rim. A missing piece has been carefully restored using a yobitsugi method, where a fragment from another ceramic piece is incorporated and joined with lacquer, then finished with brass powder.

The repair traces the original breaks across the surface, forming a network of soft, flowing lines, while the inserted fragment adds a quiet point of contrast — a meeting of two pieces brought together into a new whole.

Rather than a subtle touch, this repair becomes a defining feature of the bowl. It carries a stronger presence while still sitting gently against the layered pastel glaze of pink, cream and pale blue.

Kintsugi and yobitsugi are time-intensive processes that require patience, skill and careful judgement. Each repair is carried out by hand to achieve both strength and balance. Our pricing reflects the time, materials and craftsmanship involved, and supports the continuation of these practices.

Each piece is priced individually, as no two repairs are ever the same.

The materials used, including brass powder, are food safe. To preserve the repaired areas, we recommend gentle hand washing and avoiding dishwashers or prolonged soaking.

Origin

Mino Ware

For over 1,300 years, Mino ware has been at the heart of Japanese ceramic making. Today it produces more than half of all ceramics in Japan, blending time-honoured traditions with modern techniques. What makes Mino ware unique is its diversity - rather than a single style, it encompasses more than 15 distinct types, each officially recognised as a traditional craft.

Maker / Brand

Shinkougama

At Sinkougama, each piece is meticulously handcrafted, ensuring no two are alike. Established in 1895, this family-run studio in Toki City, Gifu, upholds a tradition of excellence. Guided by warmth and authenticity, 5th-generation owner Kazuaki Tanaka and his team create functional, stylish pieces to enrich daily life.

Care & Characteristics

Care for Kintsugi Pieces
Due to the delicate nature of Kintsugi repairs, it’s important to handle your piece with extra care. The gold or silver-filled cracks are part of the piece's unique character, but they can be more fragile than the original ceramic. To preserve the beauty of your Kintsugi item:

Avoid using it in the microwave or dishwasher.
Gently hand wash with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
Store in a safe place away from heavy impact or direct pressure.

As with all handmade pieces, expect some variations in the appearance, making each item one-of-a-kind.

Characteristics
Each Kintsugi piece has its own distinctive pattern and repair, reflecting the art of mending with gold or silver. These pieces may show slight variations from the images, making every item unique.
