A vessel of restoration and ritual, shaped by breakage and brought back to life through the Japanese art of Kintsugi.

This one-of-a-kind mug is part of the Rise & Shine Collection — drinking vessels repaired by hand using natural urushi lacquer and finished with real brass powder. No synthetic glue. No imitation gold. Every piece is food-safe and restored over several months, following the same methods practiced in Japan for over 400 years.

Quietly radiant, this mug is both functional and symbolic: a companion for slow mornings, offering beauty not in perfection, but in resilience.

Crafted by Emi in Los Angeles
Trained in Japan, Emi uses only natural materials and time-honored Kintsugi methods. Unlike most pieces marketed as Kintsugi today — often held together with glue and painted with gold-colored powder — this mug is the real thing: slow, precise, and made to last.
