Description
Additional information

An antique Japanese bowl with a delicate cherry blossom decoration, a motif deeply rooted in Japanese aesthetics. A symbol of fleeting beauty and the fragility of life, the cherry blossom evokes the passing of time, the grace of the moment, and the poetry of impermanence.

Once broken, the bowl has been restored using the traditional art of kintsugi, with genuine 24k gold. The golden lines do not conceal the fracture; they celebrate it, extending the very meaning of the decoration in a subtle dialogue between blossom, time, and repair.

A unique piece, at once gentle, luminous, and deeply wabi-sabi.
