Wabi Sabi - The Perfectly Imperfect Podcast with Candice Kumai

EP 179 Kintsugi: Kakugo a Resolution to Your Life's Journey


Listen Later

Today, we’re diving deep into the timeless philosophy of Kakugo—resolution, determination, and the clarity of purpose in our lives. Kakugo is about setting intentions and committing fully to them, much like the monks high in the mountains who dedicate themselves to a life of service, simplicity, and profound mindfulness.
In today’s episode, we’ll explore how we can learn from those who have walked the path before us—from the wisdom of these monks to the lessons hidden in the unfiltered messages of children. We’ll also take a closer look at the Kintsugi documentary, which captures the essence of Japanese spirit, and how it all ties back to the powerful practice of Kintsugi.
If you’ve seen Kintsugi, the limited series I created that aired on NHK World, you’ll recognize how the art of golden repair teaches us that our brokenness, our flaws, and our scars aren’t just things to hide, but something to embrace. They become the gold that strengthens us, propels us forward, and makes us whole again.
In a world where so many of us are battling feelings of anxiety and hopelessness, these ancient practices offer us the tools we need to mend, to grow, and to find peace. How can we be better individuals, and better people, by applying these lessons from the past to our everyday lives in the present? Let’s talk about how we can incorporate these teachings into our daily practice and open our hearts to the beautiful brokenness of being human.
Thank you for joining me. Let’s explore this journey of healing, transformation, and discovering your own path to resilience. x ck
