This is the traditional Japanese Kintsugi technique for repairing broken items. Originally, it developed from the Japanese mindset of cherishing and using things for a long time, but in modern times, it has also gained an artistic aspect, with collectors appreciating its value.
 
 
Aesthetic Value and Uniqueness :
Kintsugi does not hide the broken parts but rather emphasizes them, creating a new kind of beauty. The cracks repaired with gold or silver give the pottery a unique character, making it appreciated as a work of art.
 
Philosophical Significance :
Kintsugi is rooted in the spirit of "wabi-sabi," a philosophy that finds beauty in brokenness and imperfection. This idea, particularly abroad, resonates with those who value the "beauty of imperfection" and is seen as a symbol of emotional richness.
 
Sustainability :
The concept of Kintsugi, which involves repairing broken items and reusing them, aligns with modern trends that emphasize environmental issues and sustainable living. As part of the repair culture, it promotes reducing waste and valuing what we have, gaining widespread support.
 
Symbolism of Healing :
Kintsugi is seen not just as physical repair but also as a metaphor for emotional healing. It represents overcoming challenges and emerging stronger, symbolizing personal or community growth.
