Kintsugi
- by Dev Team
Kintsugi (金継ぎ) is a traditional Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, platinum or Gold Leaf✨
Rather than disguising the damage, Kintsugi highlights the cracks and repairs as a unique part of the object's history, turning what was once broken into something beautiful and more valuable.
Key ideas behind Kintsugi:
• Embracing imperfection (wabi-sabi): Celebrating flaws and imperfections as part of an object’s life story.
• Philosophical meaning: It symbolises resilience, transformation, and the beauty of healing.
• Practical art form: Used to repair bowls, teapots, plates, and other ceramic items.
In modern culture, Kintsugi has also become a metaphor for personal growth — embracing scars (physical or emotional) as part of one's unique journey rather than hiding them.
