侘寂

 

Definition derived from Buddhist teachings of the three marks of existence (三法印 sanbōin), specifically impermanence (無常 mujō), suffering (苦 ku) and emptiness or absence of self-nature (空 kū). A world view concentrated on accepting and embarrassing the imperfection. This is sometime described as the “beauty of imperfection.

Stamp Technique

Uniqueness, great quality and affordable price.

Thanks to the hand crafted stamp technique used to create patterns on the porcelain the artist can intentionally achieve differences in the shade of the design, displacement of the transfer, and distortion, even for the same product.

The pottery before the birth of the stamp method was very expensive because it was mainly dyed (hand-painted). Good quality at affordable price made it popular among ordinary people.

This is intentional wabi-sabi difference between same piece of porcelain plate using stamp technique.
