Kintsugi (金継ぎ, meaning  "golden joinery"), also called kintsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair"), is the Japanese art of fixing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. As a philosophy, kintsugi treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, instead of something to hide.[1] This is similar to the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi.
