Kintsugi, or “golden joinery,” is a traditional Japanese technique that repairs ceramics with lacquer and precious metal powder, turning cracks into exquisite works of art.
Life, like a cherished cup, shatters at times. Kintsugi urges us not to discard ourselves during challenges. As we navigate life’s journey, let’s adopt the Kintsugi mindset. Imperfections, like golden seams, add depth and beauty to our existence. Embracing our brokenness becomes a transformative art form, turning scars into symbols of strength and endurance.
As a shopkeeper comments on the golden repair work of a broken bowl: “What lovely cracks.” (From Fractures by Andres Neuman)
