When precious items travel vast distances, there is an inherent risk of breakages. As a sign of respect to the makers who have poured their hearts into each piece of work, we strive to repair every piece that arrives broken.
Using traditional kintsugi methods, this teacup has been given new life. Under the guidance of master kintsugi artist, Jun Moorooka, this cup was repaired in Australia. All raw ingredients, including the urushi lacquer and genuine gold powder, were made in Japan.
The materials used to repair this teacup are food safe.
Kintsugi is a unique reflection of our own brokenness and the transformation into beauty that is possible for each of us.
