KINTSUGI
The Restorative Art of Naoko Fukumaru
Kintsugi, (pronounced keen-tsue-ghee), uses powderedgold over lacquer-repaired seams to magnify the beauty that emerges from breakage. This 500-year-old method ofmending damaged ceramics evocatively reminds us of theremarkable human capacity to overcome challenges and adversities. Artist and professional ceramics conservator, Naoko Fukumaru, combines state-of-the-art restoration techniques with traditional kintsugi repair methods to create work that highlights imperfections while exploring new possibilities for this noteworthy craft. Here in the Calvin and Mayho Tanabe Gallery, our kintsugi exhibition features Fukumaru's experimental work, which courageously divergesfrom tradition to express the redemptive potential [really?] born from the act of sensitively reconstructing something that has shattered. For Fukumaru, practicing kintsugi is not merely about repairing damaged physical objects, but finding new nways to celebrate the history, artistry, and symbolism of each piece by choosing to cherish rather than trash what has been broken.
Fusing kintsugi-repaired vessels with unconventional materials like thread, textiles, and surprising plaster forms of mushrooms, succulents, crystals, and animals, Fukumaru conveys a journey from vulnerability to strength. Urushi lacquer is at the heart of much of Fukumaru's work. In addition to helping rejoin the broken fragments, urushi can be layered to develop texture and three-dimensional forms.
It can also be used as a paint, which draws from the maki-e lacquer decorating tradition, where surface designs are meticulously painted with urushi then sprinkled with powdered gold or other precious metals to accentuate the designs. However, instead of the typical maki-e motifs of plants and animals, Fukumaru's urushi decorations are reminiscent of neurons, sparking connections between disparate pieces that she has attentively attached to the restored vessels. Delving into what it means to be beautifully broken, Fukumaru expands the horizon of kintsugi as a powerful art form.
The exhibition continues in the Pavilion Gallery

The Triskele or Triskelion is a mesmerizing symbol formed by three interlocking spirals connected in the center. The design is deeply rooted in Celtic culture, fascinating and intriguing people with its history, origins, and symbolism.
This week’s blog post will guide you through the enchanting realms of the Celtic Triskele symbol. We will unravel its origins, symbolic significance, and enduring presence across cultures and time. Let us embark on the captivating journey of this ancient Celtic symbol.
What is a Triskele?
What is a Triskele?
The Triskele, or Triskelion symbol, is commonly found across Europe. It is primarily associated with British tribes and Celtic cultures. This symbol dates back to 500 BC and has been present since the dawn of our civilization.
This emblem consists of three interlocking spirals connected in the center. The spirals are oriented clockwise and counterclockwise with no beginning or end. It is a powerful emblem that has endured through different eras, captivating the imagination of both ancient and modern cultures.
A Spiraling Path through History
The triskele or triple spiral symbol has traversed the ages. It dates back to the Neolithic era, leaving its mark on ancient Celtic civilizations. For those civilizations, it held deep cultural and historical significance.
Historians can trace the symbol’s origins to various regions, including Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Brittany. The Newgrange Stone Monument, built 5200 years ago, is one of the latest registers of the Triple Celtic Spiral.
Throughout history, the Triskele has fascinated scholars, artists, and enthusiasts alike. Today, we can still see its influence in various objects, monuments and art. Ancient artifacts, stone carvings, and even in modern art, jewelry, and tattoos all bear its mark.
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
The Triskele symbolizes infinity and connection, deriving its name from ancient Greek words that mean ‘three times.’ In Celtic cultures, the fusion of three joining spirals in the design further enhances its significance.
The number three held special symbolism for Celtic civilizations. That is because Celts believed many aspects of a life were separated into three realms:
The Cycle of Life: encompassing life, death, and rebirth.
Represents the three worlds: heaven, earth, and purgatory.
The Elements: earth, water, and sky, believed to constitute the world.
Family: representing father, mother, and child.
As such, the Triskele encompasses the profound concept of life, death, and rebirth. Each spiral within the symbol represents an essential element of the eternal cycle: firstly, it portrays the mother as the embodiment of birth and creation. It also depict the father symbolizing life and existence. And lastly, it represents the child embodying new beginnings and the promise of the future.
As a bridge between the earthly realm and the celestial world, the Triskele forges a holistic connection. Its interwoven spirals act as conduits, conveying the flow of energy. Hence, it facilitates a harmonious link between the physical and the spiritual.

Cultural Significance and Regional Variations
Cultural Significance and Regional Variations
The Celtic Triskele holds significant cultural meaning and displays regional variations that reflect the diverse contexts in which it is found.
In the Boyne Valley, Ireland, the Triskele, for instance, symbolizes the deeply rooted ancient Celtic traditions. It is present on megalithic monuments such as the famous Newgrange tomb. The Triskele’s presence in this region represents the enduring cultural legacy and the cycles of life, death, and rebirth.
The Triskele is also a prominent symbol of Celtic heritage on the Isle of Man. It adorns ancient artifacts and flags, and represents the island’s rich history, culture, and spiritual connections. It embodies the unique charm and Celtic roots of the Isle of Man.
However, the Triskele is not limited to these two regions. It holds significance in other Celtic regions such as Scotland, Wales, and Brittany. In these areas, the symbol may carry variations in its interpretation and symbolism, influenced by local traditions, folklore, and historical contexts.

Delving into the Trinacria: Exploring the Iconic Sicillian Flag and Heritage
From the vibrant shores of the Mediterranean to the storied streets of Palermo, the Sicilian flag’s striking trinacria emblem resonates as a powerful symbol of the island’s mythology, resilience and cultural pride. This guide unravels the rich history and significance behind the famous triskelion adorning Sicily’s banner.
Behind its deceptively simple form lies layers of meaning tracing back through millennia to ancient Greek legends and pre-Roman civilizations. More than just Sicily’s coat of arms, the trinacria encapsulates the island’s spirit of resistance, fertility and the enduring interconnection of its diverse influences. For those of Sicilian descent and the culturally curious alike, understanding this flag’s motifs offers a gateway into the very essence of Sicilian identity.
So let’s dive deep into unpacking the trinacria’s symbolism – uncovering captivating tales of defiance, archaeological revelations, and the interweaving tapestry of cultures that created this indelible emblem. From the triplet legs to the Medusa’s head, be prepared to see the Sicilian flag’s familiar shapes in an entirely new, meaningful light.
What is the Trinacria Emblem?
At the heart of Sicily’s unmistakable flag stands the bold image of the trinacria (or triskelion) – three human legs attached at the thigh orbiting around a central point. This striking logo actually predates Ancient Greece, with historians tracing its first known origins to the 4th century BCE.
While early Greek accounts describe the iconic triskelion as a symbol of the island’s three capes (Peloro, Passero and Lilibeo), the trinacria’s true origins and evolution are much more complex and esoteric than pure geography. Its symbolism holds deep mythological ties to Greek legend and the island’s powerful female deities.
The Medusa’s Gaze and Winged Fertility
Many interpretations associate the trinacria legs with motion and the cycles of the sun across the day and seasons. Within the emblem’s center, many have identified the fearsome gorgon Medusa – the winged monster whose stare turned onlookers to stone.
However, in Sicily, Medusa takes on greater spiritual significance connected to the archetype of the mother goddess and female power. Her wings represent the fertile, nurturing energy of the island itself, providing abundance. Ancient Sicilian cult worship focused on female goddesses of fertility echoed in the trinacria’s unified symbolism.
Further incarnations of the trinacria depict stalks of wheat or even snakes emerging from the central head/figure – metaphors for Sicily’s agricultural abundance and the perpetual renewal of life itself. The arrangement of the three legs forms an eternal spiral, evoking the cyclical forces in nature as well.
So while on the surface the trinacria appears an austere armorial symbol, its true mystique stems from a convergence of cultural motifs celebrating femininity, motherhood and nature’s restorative energies. These esoteric underpinnings make the emblem distinctly Sicilian, emerging from the island’s primordial origins as a revered center for goddess worship and fertility rituals.
The Trinacria’s Path Through History
As Sicily found itself invaded and conquered by successive foreign powers over the centuries, the trinacria’s significance shifted and absorbed new layers of allegorical meaning while retaining its essence.
For the island’s Greek colonists, the three bound legs formed a potent representation of their ancestral mythological origins. First appearing as decorations on ceramics and coins from the city of Syracuse, trinacria models soon proliferated across Hellenic Sicily.
When the Romans subsumed Greece, the emblem took on militaristic connotations encapsulating Sicily’s spirit of resistance against invaders. For the Angevin and Norman kings who later ruled Sicily, the triskelion became a coat of arms for the Kingdom of Sicily alongside symbols like the eagle.
While medieval heralds interpreted the three legs as representative of the island’s three promontory capes, the trinacria retained symbolic ties to ancient Greek goddesses like Athena and heroine-heroines like Scylla who famously repelled Odysseus. As the Catholic Church rose in prominence across Sicily, the emblem absorbed Christian connotations around the Holy Trinity.
The Trinacria and Sicilian National Identity
While the trinacria predated any notion of a uniquely “Sicilian” ethnic identity, the emblem grew inseparable from nationalist sentiments during Sicily’s long struggles against outside rulers and the quest for self-governance.
It was the decisive Sicilian Vespers rebellion against the Angevin French in 1282 that first witnessed the widespread reclamation of the trinacria as a unifying symbol of resistance and Sicilian independence from foreign dominance. When Peter III of Aragon intervened to back the Sicilian uprising, his warriors donned banners emblazoned with the triskelion. Images of the embattled Medusa at the emblem’s center resonated as symbolic safeguards evoking Sicily’s refusal to be subjugated.
This revolutionary association powered the trinacria’s evolution into an icon of Sicilian patriotism and civic pride lasting over centuries through the island’s struggles for self-rule. It inspired grassroots independence movements and the eventual formation of the Autonomous Region of Sicily in the post-World War II period.
While now an official governmental emblem, the trinacria continues resonating as a point of cultural pride and resilience for Sicilians globally. From the streets of Palermo and Corleone, to Sicilian-American communities keeping traditions alive across the diaspora, the trinacria represents an unbreakable link to the island’s storied past across its diverse cultural tapestry.
Understanding the Sicilian Flag Design
Now that we’ve unpacked the trinacria’s symbolic richness, let’s examine how its powerful emblem interplays with the other elements shaping Sicily’s famous flag design:
The Three Legs
Obviously, the focal point remains the triskelion’s three legs extending boldly from the center. Spiraling in a perpetual circle, these represent the unending cycles of the seasons, masculinity, and the eternal fertility of the land itself. While frequently depicted straight, the legs in the official flag design are bent at the knee – suggesting dynamism and forward propulsion.
The Head/Figure
While often abstracted on many modern flag depictions, the official design clearly renders Medusa’s head at the trinacria centerpiece. This evokes the emblem’s powerful feminine undertones and Sicily’s primordial cultural identity entwined with mother goddess worship. Some versions depict ears of wheat emerging from the head, reinforcing Sicily’s agricultural abundance.
The Wings
Often overlooked, a set of outstretched wings encircles the trinacria legs in the official flag design. This avian imagery harkens back to the earlier symbolism of feminine energy, fertility and the concepts of cyclical renewal core to ancient Sicily’s esoteric heritage. Some mythological scholars have linked the wings to Nike or Victory itself.
The Colors
The simple red and yellow fields surrounding the central trinacria pack their own symbolic punch. Red represents the fierce courage of Sicily across its bloodied history of resistance and struggle for independence. Meanwhile, the vivid yellow evokes the island’s fertile lands, its brilliant Mediterranean sunshine, and the golden wheat long forming the backbone of its agricultural abundance.
This fusion of shapes and colors coalesce into an impactful flag design rooted in over two millennia of interwoven civilizations leaving their imprint on Sicilian identity and psyche through the iconic trinacria. From the hallowed ruins of Greek Siracusa to the bustling streets of modern Palermo, this banner unites the diverse peoples and cultures that call this Mediterranean island home.
The Trinacria Legacy Today
For people of Sicilian descent worldwide, the trinacria transcends its heraldic origins as an emblem emblazoned on flags or official seals. It stands as an enduring sigil representing one’s ancestry – a graphic embodiment of the complex, resilient and mystical identity that stems from Sicily’s unique geographic and cultural crucible.
You’ll find Trinacria-based designs and insignias integrated into the emblems of cultural organizations preserving Sicilian traditions abroad, like Italian-American societies or Catholic fraternal orders with Sicilian roots. Its reproduction as tattoos, jewelry or folk art decor celebrates personal connections to this heritage.
Even for Sicilians living in the motherland itself today, the triskelion remains a point of immense regional pride even as its ancient esoteric meanings may have faded from mainstream consciousness. Like many powerful symbols, the trinacria’s resonance persists not from academic study, but from generational lived experiences and the sense of belonging it evokes.
So while the trinacria’s three dancing legs may appear simple in their geometry, they represent a richly layered and deeply meaningful emblem for the Sicilian people.
This triskelion speaks to the island’s remarkable ability to endure and thrive across millennia, despite wave after wave of foreign invasion and conquest. Its symbolism captures Sicily’s profound connection to the power of the feminine, the cycles of nature, and the indomitable human will to resist oppression.
Embedded within the iconic red and yellow trinacria lies a convergence of Greek mythology, pre-Roman spiritual traditions, medieval heraldry, nationalist uprisings, and the unique cultural mosaic created as these diverse influences cross-pollinated across centuries of Sicilian soil.
Even as the modern world rapidly evolves, the trinacria proves that powerful symbols can transcend eras while still offering connections to our deepest ancestral roots and intrinsic human experiences. This is why the Sicilian flag emblem resonates so profoundly for the island’s people and diaspora communities worldwide.
For those seeking to understand their Sicilian heritage or the significance behind one of Europe’s most distinctive flag emblems, studying the multifaceted trinacria opens a fascinating window into this island’s cauldron of history, identities and enduring mythologies.
Language Services Opening Connections for Sicilians
As global migration enriches societies with diverse cultures and perspectives, language remains one of the most formidable barriers to building cohesive, inclusive communities. This is something the Sicilian diaspora can certainly relate to, having radiated outward for centuries.
The ability for Sicilian immigrants and their descendants to access interpreters fluent in the nuanced Sicilian language and dialects proves vital for navigating everything from medical emergencies to legal processes, educational access to civic engagement. Linguistic isolation breeds marginalization – a disconnect from justice, essential services, and forging a true sense of belonging.
This is where innovative companies like LanguageXS aim to make a difference through their accessible language solutions. By offering on-demand over-the-phone translation services spanning over 240 languages – including many spoken by Sicilian communities – they empower cross-cultural dialogue.
For Sicilian American families in cities like New York, Boston or Philly, the ability to add an Italian or Sicilian dialect interpreter to any call represents a breakthrough for asserting independence. Rather than relying on spotty translation by children or relatives during sensitive situations, these services ensure accurate, nuanced dialogue that retains cultural context.
From medical appointments to immigration hearings, educational meetings to financial dealings, on-demand language access helps Sicilian speakers navigate society’s systems on their own terms and in their own voices. It fosters participation, integration and an open exchange of knowledge.
As the Sicilian diaspora continues evolving and new generations take root worldwide, companies like LanguageXS democratize connections back to their ancestral tongues and heritages. It’s an empowering step towards mutual understanding between cultures – and upholding the dignity inherent for all people in making their stories heard.
TAKEAWAYS:
The trinacria, the iconic three-legged emblem on the Sicilian flag, carries profound symbolic meaning rooted in Greek mythology, regional geography, and the island’s primordial veneration of female deities and fertility symbolism.
Red and yellow flag colors represent the duality of Sicily’s heritage – fierce resistance against oppression combined with the prosperity of its fertile Mediterranean bounty.
The trinacria evolved as a patriotic symbol of Sicilian independence and national identity, embraced against foreign conquerors from Ancient Rome through the Angevin rulers.
Today, the flag emblem serves as an iconic point of global cultural pride for Sicilians to connect to their island’s mystical history, resilience and uniquely layered identities.
For Sicilian diaspora communities, services providing on-demand language interpretation help preserve linguistic ties and facilitate full participation in the societies they now call home.
The Sicilian experience reflects the profound importance of symbols and language in nurturing our deepest senses of heritage, selfhood, and connection to the human story across centuries. Understanding the trinacria’s meanings brings this all into perspective in a uniquely powerful way.

This is one view along the colonnade. Students are nominated to live in these rooms at the heart of the university; as you can see, they have fireplaces where they can burn wood - but no bathrooms. As I walked back under the colonnade at the end of my first day, I crossed paths with a young woman about your age, dressed in a terry robe and flip-flops, headed off to the bath. It was charming.

After I completed the restorative process (which took weeks of patiently going over the lower part with cotton wool buds and white spirit), I also cleared off the top header (formerly the gun in other stories) to reveal the black pitted rectangle. I kept the original tubes as they were.
The ear handles & mouth piece were replaced with similar ones authentic to the show & salvaged from Longleat & Blackpool exhibitions and the Blackpool closure of the Museum & the actual filming of the stories all those years ago.
