In the artistry of Kintsugi, there is no attempt at hiding brokenness, in fact, it’s just the opposite, there is this beautiful highlighting of the imperfections. The flaws are seen as a unique piece of the object’s history, adding to it’s beauty. The piece is believed to be more beautiful for having been broken. The artist makes no attempt at smoothly blending together the cracks….instead he illuminates them with precious gold. Kintsugi is the art of repairing but it’s also the art of understanding that the piece is more beautiful for having been broken. Because YOU have been repaired with precious grace and love and mercy, you are far more beautiful for having been broken.
