金継ぎ Kintsugi
~ Embracing Imperfectio
Kintsugi (金継ぎ, “golden joinery”) is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with gold, silver, or sometimes platinum. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something you hide or disguise.
The concept of highlighting or emphasizing imperfections, focusing on the mends and seams, is intended to bring a unique additive of beauty. Enjoy 10 of my favorites.
