Kintsugi (金 継ぎ, "golden joinery ''), also known as Kintsukuroi (金 繕い, "golden repair ''), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki - e technique. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
