【金継】六寸皿　染付七宝詰プラチナ継
染付の六寸皿です。３箇所にヒビが生じたため、３箇所ともプラチナ継（漆でヒビを繋いだ後、金ではなくプラチナ粉による蒔絵）をほどこしています。
七宝文様は円が無限に続く吉祥文様。高台の中までびっしりと書き込んだ描詰です。皿の縁は稜花（りょうか）と呼ばれる花びらの形に削り取られています。ロクロ、削ぎが施され、手描きでひとつひとつの円を描き込まれた一品です。

Plate, Sometsuke Shippō Zume w/Platinum Kintsugi
A plate adorned with sometsuke, or blue and white decoration. Repairs using platinum lacquer have been applied to three cracks. This process is the same as the one used in kintsugi, except that the lacquer is decorated using platinum powder, rather than gold powder.
The shippō pattern is an auspicious pattern of continuously overlapping circles. This pattern is applied in a kakizume fashion, completely covering the dish and reaching its very base. The edge of the dish is carved in a flower petal shape called ryōka. This spectacular piece was fashioned on a lathe, after which each circle was drawn one by one.

西川貞三郎商店の金継品について
弊社の京焼・清水焼はすべて職人が手作りしています。その製造工程の中で、残念ながら割れや欠けが生じるものがどうしても発生してしまいます。通常は検品時にはねられお客様のお手元には届くことはありませんが、ひとつひとつ職人が作陶した形、描いた絵は完成品と比べても遜色はございません。職人の精魂込めた手作りの技を残すためにも、弊社のオンラインショップにて割れや欠けのある商品を未使用の金継商品として販売することにいたしました。
同じく伝統工芸である近江の漆職人の手によって、ひとつひとつ本漆と本金粉、プラチナ粉などの蒔絵で直した２つと無い景色を持つ器です。通常は使用して割れたものを修繕する技術ですが、弊社の金継品は未使用の新品です。贈答品としてもご利用いただけます。
ご理解の上、新しく生まれ変わった京焼・清水焼の金継品をぜひお手にとっていただきたく思います。
※一点物のため、売り切れ次第販売を終了いたします。

About Kintsugi Pieces from T. Nishikawa & Co., Inc.
All of our Kyoto and Kiyomizu Ware is handmade by professional craftsmen. During this production process, some pieces are inevitably broken or chipped. Normally, these works are rejected during the inspection process and never seen by our customers. However, the forms of these works and the detailed paintings that adorn them are by no means inferior to those of our whole pieces. To avoid wasting the diligent efforts our craftsmen put into handmaking each piece, we have decided to sell unused pieces that were broken or chipped in our online shop after they have been repaired through kintsugi.
These kintsugi pieces are irreproducible works that have been painstakingly repaired using lacquer combined with real gold or platinum powder by the hands of the lacquer craftsmen of Ōmi, another of Japan’s traditional crafts. This process is typically applied to used pieces that have been broken, but in our case they are brand new. They also make excellent gifts.
We are truly pleased to be able to offer these pieces of kintsugi Kiyomizu and Kyoto Ware and, understanding the process of rebirth and renewal they have undergone, we hope you will be as delighted with them as we are.
*As these are single items, we can only offer them until they have sold.

How to Care For Kintsugi Pieces
The kintsugi portion of the vessel is natural lacquer, so it should be cared for in the same way as lacquer ware.
After use, wash the piece using a soft sponge and food-safe detergent. Rinse them in lukewarm or cool water and completely dry them using a soft dish cloth.
Do not soak them in hot or cold water for long periods of time. This may cause the lacquer or decoration to peel or break.
The lacquer may break or the decoration may peel due to strong impacts, such as being dropped or coming into contact with hard objects, so please handle them carefully.
These pieces should not be placed in the microwave or dishwasher.
