What is Kintsugi?

Kintsugi is a 500-year-old Japanese art that sees beauty in the broken.
Using natural lacquer and real gold or silver, cracks are not hidden but revealed—made to shine. Each repair tells a story of loss, care, and renewal. What was once broken becomes something even more precious. This is the heart of kintsugi.
