???? (kinsugi)

[spopepro]

Hopefully vsalon can handle the hiragana. So I got some of shinomaster's awesome pottery a while back. One ???? in particular was my favorite. Unfortunately, Clara (my kitty) took an interest in it also and performed a gravity experiment with it. I was super upset, and hastily put the pieces in the trash and made an attempt at moving on. Fortunately my wife was smarter than I am, and for my birthday I unwrapped this:





She sent it off to a master in Japan, who used the art of ???? to join the pieces back together and make something even more beautiful. Imperfection is perfection and all... I'm so happy!

That's a great story.

From something broken, comes something more beautiful and more whole.

Fantastic.

Clearly about their lead singer's marriage break up and rebuild of his life. Somewhat on-topic!

Very cool reincarnation of your bowl.

Your wife deserves a treat!

I am looking up at 2 small shinomaster bowls on the shelf. We can't have a cat because my wife is allergic.

[Shinomaster]

Holy shit. I'm not worthy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was a fantastic little cup though ;) OMG.

[Shinomaster]

Dude, I am so honored I can't even tell you. Your wife rocks. This inspires me to shake off this ennui and get off my lazy duff and make more things. If people appreciate them this much I must be doing something right. Wow, I'm so ticked.

[Shinomaster]

That should say tickled, not ticked!

Can I ask where she got it repaired? My wife has a nice piece she got in Japan that was dropped by airport security.

Dittto, my cat did this to a noteworthy piece.

She said she sent it to David Pike and reports that he was lovely to work with. Don't expect a time table.

Yes. Everyone who I've known who has seen your work holds it in high esteem. You might be the last to figure that out... ;)
