Il Kintsugi

Kintsugi or Kintsukuroi is the art of repairing gold, which is an ancient Japanese practice. It consists of repairing objects made of pottery through the use of liquid gold or silver, or by using varnish containing gold powder to solder the pieces together.

Sometimes also copper and brass are used, and they are worked until the surface is shiny, but  they are also kept opaque.

Kintsugi

Kintsugi is a slow process requiring attention and patience. The results are cheap due to the presence of these metals in nature, but they are also artistic for the beauty coming out from the shapes created by the lines. Japanese philosophy teaches that something imperfect can give birth to something valuable.
