Zero Waste Decor. Kintsugi repair of a black ceramic bowl with a floral design. This item was destined for landfill prior to being salvaged and repaired with kintsugi.

Kintsugi ("golden joinery" ) is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery, embracing its flaws and highlighting its imperfections. Using golden resin, Kintsugi artists highlight the object's shops cracks and imperfections and honor its history; transforming a once-broken, useless piece into a priceless piece of art. It is also known as Kintsukuroi ("golden repair").

The Kintsugi philosophy is similar to wabi sabi, a Zen state of mind that accepts that the world is full of imperfection. Kintsugi is the process of respecting, embracing, and celebrating an object's history, despite its modern-world flaws.

This unique, one-of-a-kind piece has been created using the Kintsugi crack method. This art piece will never be replicated.

*Due to the golden resin and gold finish, all Kintsugi items are for decoration only.*

Kintsugi objects should NOT be used for food, in a dishwasher, or microwave. It is recommended that vases are used for faux floral arrangements only. Our studio does NOT use Japanese urushi resin due to the potential of allergic reactions.

Wipe with a dry, soft cloth to clean.
