Understanding Kintsugi
Kintsugi, meaning 'golden joinery,' is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer mixed with gold or silver powder. This process not only mends the item but also highlights the cracks, creating shimmering seams.
In Japanese culture, kintsugi is a powerful metaphor for life, teaching us to embrace our flaws and imperfections. The repaired 'broken' parts become a source of strength and beauty.
