Kintsugi is a Japanese technique for repairing ceramics: fragments are joined with urushi lacquer, and seams may be finished with gold, silver, or platinum powder. Instead of hiding cracks, the craft makes repair a visible part of an object’s history. Variations exist, including repairs without metallic powder.
