Sugi-nari Bowl — Momiji Maple Decoration, Oribe Style & 24k Gold Kintsugi

Japanese bowl in a sugi-nari shape, decorated with momiji — Japanese maple leaves — in green, red and brown tones, on a ceramic body evoking the Oribe / Ao-Oribe style. Its soft green glaze, brown rim and freely painted botanical decoration give the piece a warm, lively and distinctly Japanese presence.

In Japanese culture, momiji is closely associated with autumn and the contemplation of change. It symbolizes fleeting beauty, the passing of the seasons and the fragile intensity of the present moment.

The bowl bears the potter’s signature under the foot, marking it as a studio piece.

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 reveal it, bringing a new light into dialogue with the maple leaves.

A unique piece, sensitive and deeply wabi-sabi.
