At the moment, there seems to be so much conflict in our country, and with Valentines Day just a week away, what better way to promote repairing the breaks in our life and in society then by trying Kintsugi, “golden joinery.” According to the philosophy behind this ancient Japanese tradition, nothing is ever truly broken and fits with “wabi-sabi,” the aesthetic of the beauty of things that are imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.
As you can see from the video,
traditional Kintsugi can take months to repair. However, there are some simpler ways to do this with
things like Epoxy, E 600. Once an item
is repaired, you will most likely not use it for food or drinks, but rather use
it to hold plants, pencils, art supplies, flowers or whatever strikes your
fancy.
