When I accidentally break my beloved cup and plate, I can’t help but feel heartbroken and annoyed for a while. However, there is no way to make up for it. A Japanese technique that specializes in repairing pottery is called "Kintsugi (金継ぎ)", which can help you restore the broken treasures! The biggest feature of this process is that it leaves conspicuous golden repair marks on the surface of the pottery, adding delicate gold marks to the original ceramics.
Kintsugi is an exquisite handicraft in Japan. It can be traced back to around the 15th century AD. The focus is not on repairing the object until no damage is visible. Instead, supplements with gold powder are used to keep the cracks intact and become a kind of memory. trajectory!
After a few coats of gold paint were applied to the original Japanese simple-style pottery, its entire temperament changed. It truly is a traditional technique called "craftsmanship". Many Japanese people will buy their own materials to DIY repair pottery at home, and even use some magic to beautify the pottery and turn it into cuter Japanese tableware. If you are interested, you can also search for materials online and try them out at home!
