The wisdom of an old Japanese practice called Kintsugi is inspiring and motivating in the process of healing. Kintsugi is an art form where breaks and repairs are part of an objects history. These broken parts are carefully mended with a lacquer resin mixed with powdered gold, silver or platinum. The mended repairs are visible yet they create an extraordinary additional beauty to the object.
