Kintsugi Bowl?

[obiwanknabbe]

Anyone have one or know where to get one? My last gift idea crashed and burned in the fiery depths of forgery hell. 

 

Im seeing some poetry in rectifying the problem with a beautiful repair. Again.. an original piece.. meiji or edo

 

something like this

 

Thanks .. Kurt k

In general kintsugi is meant to repair your already loved pieces, if you're looking for something with kintsugi work, i think ebay is the easiest place to look for something, but i don't think it'll be advertised in the title.

 

New pieces with kintsugi I don't see often, i only know one old Honami Koetsu (if i recall correctly), raku chawan that included it. But the name of the piece escapes me. And kintsugi work done by members has been shown here, perhaps a fun activity to share with your misses? Some sets for sale online.

 

Also sorry to say i don't have one with kintsugi work from the specified period.

I have read somewhere that the Japanese (and the international CHA no YU fan scene) love KINTSUGI so much, that there are new (non-defective) pots with this 'embellishment' for sale. Sometimes new pots are intentionally damaged and 'repaired' with KINTSUGI.

I actually do this on my own. Ita not too hard to learn, you just need to buy the urushi and powder.

bit off topic, but also along the same line.

 

recently we seen a TBH paper with nice fittings and tsuba, but the tsuba had a big hunker if a crack, could this be done to fill it in?

[ROKUJURO]

Stephen, 

that can be done, and when it is professionally made it's almost invisible. On my TSUBA, it is far from being perfect (raw URUSHI):.

Wow Jean i cant find it...lol

[ROKUJURO]

Stephen,

have your glass eyes polished!   

It was not me who made it, and it is not yet finished. I just wanted to show you that it is basically possible with only a little piece of YOSHINO GAMI (mulberry paper) and some URUSHI.

Add me to that list too then, can't see it either
