Kintsugi (金継ぎ, gold joinery) is an ancient Japanese craft practice, used for hundreds of years to repair damaged ceramics. With this technique, fractures and breaks are mended with Urushi lacquer (a natural tree resin) and gold powder, creating gold linework that evidences the repair of the artisan. The philosophy that accompanies this cultural craft way speaks to a commitment to reuse, deep care for the objects in our lives, and a holistic embrace of imperfection.
