Finding Beauty in Brokenness: The Art of Kintsugi and Self-Repair
The Beauty of Imperfection.
In a world that often emphasizes perfection and flawlessness, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by our own perceived shortcomings.
Many of us carry the weight of past mistakes, heartaches, and disappointments, which can leave us feeling broken inside.
However, there’s a profound Japanese concept that offers a different perspective on our struggles: Kintsugi.
This ancient art form teaches us that broken things can be made more beautiful and valuable when repaired, especially when the cracks are filled with gold. As we explore Kintsugi and its deeper meanings, we’ll discover how this philosophy can inspire us on our journey of self-repair and personal growth.
Understanding Kintsugi: More Than Just Repair
Kintsugi, which translates to “golden joinery,” is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum.
Rather than hide the cracks, Kintsugi emphasizes them.
