Japanese Bowl with Cherry Blossom and Hydrangea Decoration & 24k Gold Kintsugi

Japanese bowl decorated with delicate cherry blossom and hydrangea motifs, painted in soft shades of pink, violet and green. Its simple, balanced shape allows the botanical decoration and the golden lines to fully unfold across the piece.

The cherry blossom, or sakura, is one of the most powerful symbols in Japanese aesthetics. It evokes fleeting beauty, the fragility of the moment and the passing of time. The hydrangea, or ajisai, is associated with the rainy season, gratitude, sincerity and shifting emotions.

Once broken, the bowl has been restored using the traditional art of kintsugi, with genuine 24k gold. The fractures are not concealed; they become a precious line, a new light entering into dialogue with the flowers and revealing the story of the piece.

A unique piece, gentle, poetic and deeply wabi-sabi.
