Kenjiro Sano Graphic designer, art director, and creative director in the fields of advertising, book illustration, and television My bowl is called “Kintsugi Donburi.” It is inspired by kintsugi —the Japanese technique of repairing broken ceramics by gluing the joints with lacquer mixed with gold powder. My hope is that by bringing together different parts, I have created a bowl with special character— connecting various patterns and materials, such as polka dots and pin stripes. If this bowl breaks, it should be repaired with gold lacquer joints for an even more attractive object. I suggest that the fashion of pre-damaged blue jeans be extended to tableware too.
