Some pieces come with a name for where they began and nothing else, no maker, no studio, no afternoon worth remembering. Hachi is one of those. It simply arrived, already itself, with a single fragment missing from its edge, a small piece that had broken away cleanly and waited somewhere nearby to be found again.
There is something almost shy about a break like this, a quiet absence at the rim rather than a piece split fully in two. The fragment fit back exactly where it had come from, the way a held breath returns to its place once released. Its name suits it. Something compact, a little rounded, easy to hold in the hand and easy to like without needing a reason.
一 Looking
The fragment was set back against the rim and studied before anything else, a single piece returning to a single absence, the fit close and immediate.
二 First bond
Epoxy was drawn along the line where the fragment met the body, holding the edge steady while the bond settled into place.
三 Gold
Once cured, gold toned powder was worked into the seam, tracing the curve of the rim where the fragment had once simply broken away.
This piece carries a single seam along its rim, simple to care for. A soft cloth and mild soap are enough, with a brief wash rather than a long soak, as the epoxy beneath prefers it that way.
Keep it from direct heat and prolonged sunlight over time, as any epoxy bond would ask. Beyond that, Hachi asks for very little, just somewhere to sit where its shape and its single gold line can be seen properly.
This piece is repaired with epoxy resin and is intended for decorative use only. It should not be used to serve or store food or liquids.
