Kintsugi Cup "Sirius" with a Paulownia Wood Box

Drawing inspiration from Sirius, the luminary of the night sky, the "Sirius" series by Taku Nakano combines the traditional art of kintsugi with the shimmering Saidei luster technique, creating cups that not only pay homage to Japanese heritage but also shine with a contemporary elegance, ideal for daily enjoyment or as a sophisticated accent in any home or collection.

The "Sirius" series features cups adorned with kintsugi, inspired by Sirius, the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major and one of the twenty-one first-magnitude stars, making it the brightest star visible from Earth aside from the Sun. Crafted by Taku Nakano, a world-renowned potter and kintsugi master with a studio in Tokyo's Omotesando, this work utilizes his unique Saidei luster technique. This unique and profound series beautifully merges Japanese tradition with modern sensibilities, making it perfect for everyday use, adding an elegant touch to home decor, or as a treasured collection.
