Revive broken ceramics with Japanese kintsugi technique

 

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing the chips and cracks of ceramics with lacquer and gold, making the "scars" a focal point. Rather than throw broken ceramics away, this method breathes new life into them, making them more beautiful than ever. At Yamada Heiando Lacquerware, you can watch a demonstration by a skilled artisan before trying the art for yourself.
