Explore kintsugi
Kintsugi (金継ぎ) is a Japanese term that translates to “golden joinery” and describes the art of repairing broken pottery using lacquer mixed with gold, silver, or platinum to highlight cracks and breaks rather than obscure them. The practice is rooted in the philosophy that repair is an intrinsic part of the object’s history and should not be disguised.
