Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese repair technique and Tomomi Kamoshita has been using a modern version of kintsugi technique for her works.
The idea of finding beauty in imperfect things by applying gold to scratches is something that she would like to cherish and pass on as the idea of kintsugi.
Tomomi believes that the way things change is similar to enjoying incense and appreciating the beauty of scars.
We hope you will enjoy the different colors of the ceramic plates, such as matte white, lapis lazuli, oribe, and glossy black, as well as the gold lines, along with the scent of incense.
