What is Kintsugi?
Kintsugi is a unique Japanese cultural tradition of repairing broken ceramics using urushi lacquer and gold for decoration. The history of Kintsugi dates back to around 15th century. It is not just a technique for repairing ceramics but it embodies the spirit of Japanese people - taking good care of things that they own, their sense of value and their sense of beauty. Kintsugi has been highly regarded as an art form in the world. It is said that people cherished the repaired ceramics even more with the unique golden features that often looked like living things or nature.
