This charming octagonal plate featuring an adorable panda motif was repaired using traditional kintsugi techniques. All ingredients used for the repair process are natural and food safe.

The repair process of this item was completed by our kintsugi artist at Atelier Muho, Tokyo, Japan.

The crack running across the center was filled with natural Japanese lacquer called "urushi" and decorated with genuine gold powder. The golden line passes directly through the panda, creating an unexpected harmony between the playful design and the philosophical art of kintsugi.

This vintage-style plate features a blue and white panda sitting on golden clouds, surrounded by orange floral motifs and traditional Greek key borders. The whimsical design combined with the golden repair line tells a story of joy meeting resilience.

■ How to Care for Your Kintsugi Item

Items repaired using traditional kintsugi techniques should be treated with the same care as traditional lacquerware. Please note the following:

1. Fractured points repaired with urushi lacquer become stronger as time passes. It is recommended that you start using the item several months after repair.
2. Do not place kintsugi items in a microwave, dishwasher, oven, or open fire.
3. Hand-washing is advised. Wash gently and avoid scrubbing around the repaired cracks.
4. Be careful not to scratch the repaired parts when using sharp cutlery.
5. Ensure repaired parts are not damaged by other plates when storing.
6. Do not place in a refrigerator for extended periods.
7. Do not soak in water for too long.
8. Store away from direct sunlight.
