What is Kintsugi?
Kintsugi, or "golden joinery" is the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with a lacquer mixed or dusted with gold powder.
The philosophy of Kintsugi says that the pottery's breakage and repair are seen as a part of the history of the object, rather than something to disguise.
This is the entire philosophy that I have built Dishfunctional Designs around, so I am very excited to offer some Kintsugi pieces as part of my line of broken china jewelry.
You can find these pieces and many more in my shop!
Have a great week!
