Kintsugi Techniques Revitalize Ceramics

The art of Kintsugi, a Japanese technique, is being used to revitalize broken ceramics. This method involves repairing broken pottery with gold or silver lacquer, highlighting the brokenness rather than disguising it. According to Takahiro Yamanaka, a Japanese artisan, this technique requires great skill and patience.

With over 20 years of experience, Yamanaka has mastered the art of Kintsugi, creating unique and beautiful pieces. His work has been exhibited in various galleries, with some pieces selling for over $10,000.
