Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery using lacquer mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. Instead of hiding the cracks, this method highlights them, treating breakage as an important part of the object's history.
Meaning "golden joinery" Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese technique that dates back to the late 15th century. It involves repairing broken pottery using lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver or platinum. This practice reflects a deeper cultural belief that breakage and repair are part of an object's history, not something to disguise but to celebrate.
We should also celebrate our broken-ness and our repair. Wear it like a badge of honour.
