Recently I came across a Japanese pottery technique called "Kintsukuroi," which roughly translates to mean "Golden Repair." As its name suggests, the procedure has more to do with fixing pottery than creating it. In Kintsukuroi, broken pottery is repaired with a lacquer resin that’s been mixed with gold or silver powder. Once the object has been properly cleaned and dried, its cracks are highlighted by thin veins of metal running throughout its form. To the Japanese, the breakage and repair become part of the objects history, transforming it from something old into a new creation. One sculpture put it like this, "The art of repairing pottery with gold or silver lacquer and understanding that the piece is more beautiful for having been broken."
