Some pieces are too beautiful to let go.

Our Second Life | Kintsugi collection brings cherished ceramics and objects back to life through the Japanese art of repair. Rather than disguising breakage, each piece is carefully restored by our kintsugi artists, celebrating its history with luminous metallic seams that transform every fracture into part of its story.

No two repairs are ever the same. Every plate, bowl, vessel and incense holder is truly one of a kind - its character shaped by both its maker and its journey.

Within this collection you'll find thoughtfully restored pieces from some of our favourite Japanese makers, including Zuikougama plates, handcrafted tea bowls, Hoshino Kougyou wooden vessels, Hana Kessho incense holders, and our Kamedani Tile Platters, which have been traditionally repaired using urushi lacquer.

By choosing a Second Life piece, you're embracing an object that has been given another chance, one that honours Japanese craftsmanship, reduces waste, and reminds us that beauty often comes from what has been lovingly restored.

ABOUT THE MAKER

Simply Native Original | Sourced Across Japan

Simply Native works directly with tea producers and artisans to create and curate pieces that sit outside mass production — from small-batch teas and matcha to ceramics developed exclusively for us.

Founder Yukino, trained in the Urasenke school of tea, spent over four years developing our first ceremonial blend. Grounded in the art of blending, it is designed for depth, balance, and clarity, equally suited to drinking straight or as a latte.

Each tea and object is shaped through collaboration with artisans in Japan. Our collection evolves through seasonal releases, with limited works produced in close partnership with makers. Nothing is incidental, each piece reflects material, timing, and long-term relationships.
