Kintsugi & kintsukuroi – The art of pottery mending with gold

The Japanese technique of fixing broken pottery with gold is called Kintsugi, which means "golden joinery". This art form repairs ceramics by using a special lacquer, often urushi, mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum to highlight the cracks instead of hiding them. This process treats the breakage and repair as part of the object's unique history, often making the repaired piece more beautiful than the original | Kevin Klugman

« In the world of Kintsugi, a crack is never a flaw—it’s a transformation. I’ve just added 4 delicate porcelain pieces to the shop, handcrafted by the talented @entreterres . These pieces carry ‘firing cracks’ from the kiln, which I have mindfully restored with gold. They are a beautiful reminder that even from the heat of the struggle, something precious is born. ✨ Available now (Link in bio) #kintsugi #kintsugiart #kintsukuroi #japanlovers | Atelier Kintsugi
