Kintsugi Techniques Revitalize Fractured Ceramics

Kintsugi, a Japanese art form, repairs broken pottery with gold, highlighting fractures. This technique has been applied to 500 ceramic pieces in the past year, with 80% of artists reporting a significant increase in sales. The use of gold lacquer and resin has increased by 30% since 2020.

Notable artists, such as Yoonae Lee, have showcased their Kintsugi-inspired work in Tokyo and New York galleries.
