Kintsugi: Repairing Broken Ceramic With Gold or Gold Effect
Japanese Kintsukuroi ChawanThe translation from Japanese of kintsugi (also called Kintsukuroi) means "golden joinery" or "to patch with gold". Some refer to it as Kintsugi art or to it's metaphor - "kintsugi life" or "wabi-sabi" philosophy. This technique transforms broken ceramic or china vessels into beautiful works of art and to its new life using gold with lacquer or epoxy to enhance breaks giving the broken pottery an aesthetically pleasing and unique presentation.
