In Japanese tradition, there is something called Kintsugi. Kintsugi means “golden joinery,” and is an art form where broken ceramics are carefully mended by artisans using gold or silver resin, so that the repairs become visible and highlight the inherent beauty of the vessel. Mending these ceramics leaves an intentional imprint. The history of the vessel and the mark of the artisan are woven into the story of the vessel, bringing out the beauty of it.
