Kintsugi

Body
Written By Kranti M


Kintsugi is a Japanese art form that involves repairing broken pottery with lacquer mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. The philosophy behind kintsugi is to embrace the imperfections of the broken object and transform it into something beautiful, celebrating its history rather than hiding its flaws. This practice reflects the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi, which honors the beauty of impermanence and imperfection.
