Cultural experience
Kintsugi
The crack stays. Gold makes it the best part.
The experience
Kintsugi mends broken ceramics with lacquer and gold, keeping the crack as part of the vessel's story rather than hiding it. Working with your own hands, you join the pieces, follow the seam in gold, and take the finished vessel home.
