Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer and precious metals, celebrating imperfections as part of an object's history and beauty. It's a centuries-old technique that repairs broken ceramics using urushi lacquer mixed or dusted with gold, silver, or platinum powder. Kintsugi highlights cracks and breaks, turning them into a visual feature that celebrates the object's history and resilience. The philosophy aligns with wabi-sabi, the Japanese aesthetic that finds beauty in imperfection, impermanence and the incomplete. Have you ever heard of this interesting and artistic technique of repairing broken pottery?
