  • Satsuma ware is renowned for its light weight and refined, delicate form, making it ideal for tea utensils. This matcha bowl, crafted during the Showa period, features the traditional characteristics of Satsuma ware, combining elegance with simplicity. When the bowl was broken, the kintsugi restoration process was employed, bonding the broken parts with urushi lacquer and filling the missing areas with red urushi and gold powder.

    The use of red urushi and gold transforms the bowl, with the vibrant red symbolizing passion and energy, while the gold outlines signify strength and nobility. This combination creates a new layer of meaning, where the cracks are not hidden but instead emphasized, giving the bowl a unique character that elevates it from a simple utensil to a piece of art.
