The Kintsugi Mug KUJAKU 1 くじゃく-I from the collection takara was handmade in the 80s in a small ceramics studio in Berlin-Charlottenburg. The gilded foot of the cup makes the crack, finished with real gold, look like a predetermined part of the overall work.
 
The original shards were assembled using the traditional Kintsugi method: Urushi Japanese lacquer and glutinous rice glue. On the outside, the cracks were painted over with bengara urushi and finished with 23.75 carats of Rosenoble gold .
