Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing anything broken, with gold lacquer. It started with Ashikaga Yoshimasa, who broke his favourite tea bowl. He sent it to China to have it repaired. When it came back he was very disappointed as it was stapled together. He did not know what to do. Then the local craftsmen suggested that it could be joined together with gold lacquer. Making it more beautiful, valuable and stronger than the original.

The philosophy behind this is... 'Mottainai'.. the feeling of regret when something is wasted — and "Mushin,” the need to accept change, the cracks are sealed with lacquer, resin and powdered gold, silver or platinum. This method transforms the artifact into something new, making it more rare, beautiful.

Life deals some rough blows, we win some, we loose some. We are shattered traumatized and break many times. When we get up, brush ourselves and walk again we are honouring ourselves by having faith in ourselves.

The kintsugi approach makes the most of what already is, highlights the beauty of what we do have flaws and all, highlighting our uniqueness, and character.
