Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pieces with lacquer and gold pigments. It serves as a metaphor for embracing one’s flaws and imperfections. Instead of concealing our imperfections, it encourages us to accept and even highlight them. Kintsugi also embodies the spirit of wabi-sabi.
This art form is gaining recognition worldwide. You can now see it featured in many movies and shows. It’s an excellent way to learn about Japanese tradition and our way of life.
