Critics Review
“Based on the concept of wabi-sabi (or the beauty of imperfection), kintsugi is the Japanese art of fixing broken pottery. Author, craftsman, and manga artist Michihiro Hori offers guidance on repairing handles, reinforcing cracks, and using lacquer and metallic powders.” —Library Journal“One of the first things a new ceramicist learns is that ceramics break, and break often. Kintsugi is the famed Japanese art of repairing pottery with gold to make a broken thing both whole and more precious than the original.” —Book Riot
