repair. restore. reflect.
every crack tells a story.
Kintsugi, or “gold joinery,” is the Japanese art of repairing chipped, cracked, or broken ceramic and porcelain pieces using only natural materials — including urushi (lacquer sap) and finishing with genuine gold (silver, etc.) powder.
Instead of hiding the broken parts, kintsugi embraces the cracks as part of the object’s story — bringing new beauty and life to what was once broken. It’s a culture that values both kindness and quiet beauty.
金継ぎは、欠けたりひびが入ったり割れてしまった器を天然の漆でつなぎ、金粉で美しく仕上げる日本の伝統的な修復の技です。
壊れた部分を隠すのではなく、その跡をあえて生かしながら、新しい魅力として蘇らせる—そんなやさしさと美しさを持つ文化です。
