Fascinating! ☺️

Kintsukuroi, or Kintsugi, is a traditional Japanese technique that repairs broken pottery with lacquer mixed with gold, silver, or platinum. Rather than disguising cracks, it emphasizes them—turning breakage into beauty. This philosophy is rooted in wabi-sabi, the Japanese worldview that finds meaning in impermanence and .

The method emerged in the 15th century when sh**un Ashikaga Yoshimasa sent a damaged Chinese tea bowl back to China for repair. It returned stapled with metal, a crude fix that inspired Japanese craftsmen to invent a more graceful solution. Their response was Kintsugi—repair as art, flaw as focus.

Every repaired piece becomes unique, marked by its history rather than scarred by it. The process does more than restore function; it transforms damage into something visually and symbolically richer. The golden seams serve as a reminder that brokenness is not the end but part of an object’s journey.

Kintsukuroi has become a metaphor for emotional and personal healing across cultures. Its philosophy honors resilience over perfection and restoration over replacement. It teaches that what’s broken is not lesser—it’s just becoming something else.
