Reviving Arita Ware: From Waste Ceramics to Elegant Jewelry by Kinshodo

Kinshodo's Innovative Jewelry Initiative

Kinshodo, a company based in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture, operates in the heart of the Arita ware industry. Recently, they announced a remarkable initiative to transform discarded ceramic pieces, a byproduct of the manufacturing process, into beautiful jewelry. This initiative coincides with the 10th anniversary of their brand, 'Rin Lin japan', which is celebrated with the launch of 'Rin Lin Prelude' during the upcoming 'NEW ENERGY BLDG.' exhibition.

REIMAGINING DISCARDED CERAMICS

The brand 'Rin Lin japan' was established in 2015, coinciding with the 400th anniversary of Arita porcelain. With the motto 'Bringing Sparkle into Daily Life', this innovative brand combines the aesthetic qualities of ceramics with the nuanced textures and colors that resemble metals.

The journey of 'Rin Lin japan' has not gone unnoticed; it has garnered international acclaim, including awards from prestigious publications like 'Tableware International Awards of Excellence' and exhibitions such as 'NY NOW'. The philosophy behind the brand emphasizes the sustainable use of limited resources while maintaining the rich legacy of craftmanship that has characterized Arita ware for centuries.

However, the production of ceramics inevitably results in a percentage of defective pieces, historically classified as industrial waste. To combat this, Kinshodo is focusing on a new approach that creatively reuses these imperfections.

LAUNCH OF 'RIN LIN PRELUDE'

The recently announced 'Rin Lin Prelude' line offers a fresh avenue for Arita ware by reworking imperfect pieces into exquisite jewelry. Every defective item is meticulously crafted, ensuring that nothing goes to waste. This initiative not only exemplifies Kinshodo’s commitment to sustainability but also introduces consumers to a new appreciation for the beauty and artistry embedded within these former ceramic discards.

By championing the 'Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle' philosophy, Kinshodo is setting a precedent in the industry, aiming to eventually eliminate industrial waste altogether in Arita. Their hope is that this initiative will encourage other manufacturers to adopt similar practices, thus extending the life of Japan's cultural heritage while promoting environmental consciousness.
