Buyer Note

Kensui is the waste-water bowl used in Japanese tea ceremony (chanoyu). The inverted ubaguchi rim is a traditional design that prevents water from splashing. Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold lacquer, treating the repair as part of the object's history rather than a flaw to hide.

Authenticity Note

Consistent with authentic Bizen-yaki unglazed stoneware. Natural yohen kiln effects are characteristic of traditional Bizen firing. No maker's stamp or signature confirmed from source data.

Care Note

Unglazed stoneware is porous. Avoid prolonged soaking. Hand wash gently and dry thoroughly. Do not use in microwave or dishwasher.

Condition: EXCELLENT

Notes:
Vintage condition. Visible kintsugi gold lacquer repairs on the rim. Repairs are stable and structurally sound. No other cracks. Please review all photos carefully before purchasing.
