“Broken pieces and their repair merely contribute to the story of an object; they don’t ruin it.” — Penny Reid
Symmetra
Traveling to Ayutthaya
"Kintsugi: instead of hiding something broken, celebrate it. This should be how we interact. With respect. As
welcomed friends. Trying to understand…and be understood."
Based on the Marammat skin for Symmetra, featured in the "Stone by stone" short story.

Fabric design by follefiloute, available at #spoonflower

This extraordinary electric guitar is a rare blend of music, fine art, and Japanese cultural heritage. Displayed proudly in a Tokyo boutique, this Telecaster-style guitar features a meticulously detailed body graphic inspired by Katsushika Hokusai’s "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji", specifically the lesser-seen “South Wind, Clear Sky” or "Red Fuji" print. The bold gradient from indigo sky to volcanic crimson peaks is rendered with remarkable precision, transforming the guitar into a playable canvas.
While the body retains classic Telecaster hardware and electronics—two single-coil pickups, a control plate with chrome knobs, and a three-saddle bridge—the real showstopper is the custom finish. The wood grain subtly shows through the edges, grounding the art in natural tonewood craftsmanship. The juxtaposition of a centuries-old ukiyo-e masterpiece with a modern electric guitar form speaks volumes about the intersection of tradition and innovation in Japanese design.
This guitar wasn’t mass-produced—it’s likely a limited run or one-off custom model, possibly by Fender Japan or a high-end Japanese luthier specializing in art guitars. Japan has a deep reverence for both fine woodworking and musical instruments, and this piece beautifully reflects that harmony.
Guitars like this are rarely seen outside Japan, and when they are, they tend to become collector’s centerpieces. Whether displayed or played, it’s a conversation piece that merges visual storytelling with tonal versatility.
Perfect for photographers, collectors, or musicians drawn to the fusion of aesthetics and sound, this is more than an instrument—it’s a tribute to Japanese culture through a rock-and-roll lens.
In complete darkness or with starlight, the lachrymose moon will continue to rise and fall. In perpetuity.

Quando i giapponesi riparano un oggetto rotto, valorizzano la crepa riempiendo la spaccatura con dell’oro. Essi credono che quando qualcosa ha subito una ferita ed ha una storia, diventa più bello. Questa tecnica è chiamata "Kintsugi." Oro al posto della colla. Metallo pregiato invece di una sostanza adesiva trasparente. E la differenza è tutta qui: occultare l'integrità perduta o esaltare la storia della ricomposizione? Chi vive in Occidente fa fatica a fare pace con le crepe. "Spaccatura, frattura, ferita" sono percepiti come l'effetto meccanicistico di una colpa, perchè il pensiero digitale ci ha addestrati a percorrere sempre e solo una delle biforcazioni: o è intatto, o è rotto. Se è rotto, è colpa di qualcuno. Il pensiero analogico -arcaico, mitico, simbolico- invece, rifiuta le dicotomie e ci riporta alla compresenza degli opposti, che smettono di essere tali nel continuo osmotico fluire della vita. La Vita è integrità e rottura insieme, perché è ri-composizione costante ed eterna. Rendere belle e preziose le "persone" che hanno sofferto......questa tecnica si chiama "amore". Il dolore è parte della vita. A volte è una parte grande, e a volte no, ma in entrambi i casi, è una parte del grande puzzle, della musica profonda, del grande gioco. Il dolore fa due cose: Ti insegna, ti dice che sei vivo. Poi passa e ti lascia cambiato. E ti lascia più saggio, a volte. In alcuni casi ti lascia più forte. In entrambe le circostanze, il dolore lascia il segno, e tutto ciò che di importante potrà mai accadere nella tua vita lo comporterà in un modo o nell’altro I giapponesi che hanno inventato il Kintsugi l'hanno capito più di sei secoli fa - e ce lo ricordano sottolineandolo in oro.

"Kintsugi" refers to the Japanese art of mending with gold and the philosophy that imperfections and repairs are part of an objects history, which make it more beautiful rather than less. See also "wabi sabi" - the philosophy of embracing imperfections.
Kintsugi: The Art of Embracing Imperfection
Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese art form that highlights the aesthetic and philosophical significance of embracing imperfections. When an object breaks, its repair through Kintsugi can make it even more beautiful and personal. By using lacquer mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, the cracks and flaws are transformed into unique features, telling a story of resilience and renewal. This practice teaches us to appreciate the history and beauty in the repaired, celebrating the journey of transformation.
Poem:
In broken pieces lay the story,
Of shattered dreams and fading glory.
With golden seams, we mend the past,
Creating beauty meant to last.
From fractures bloom a brighter hue,
Imperfections cast anew.
Each line a testament, strong and true,
To life's embrace of old and new.
Haikus:
Cracks filled with gold shine,
Mended hearts and souls align,
Beauty in decline.
Broken pieces glow,
Golden veins in art bestow,
Healing we bestow.
Truthful Kindness here Celebrating the holidays. Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing pottery with Lacquer dusted with powdered precious metals (gold silver or platinum). “… it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.” (Wiki). This form of art was introduced to me 8 years ago by one of my loved Dementia Mentors, retired doctor Jennifer Bute.
In my own opinion, Perspective changes with our brokenness, and we are able to influence those changes; we can choose to become bitter ... or "better".

Read the latest issue of the All Things Paper newsletter: bit.ly/465FViH It contains many interesting links in the world of paper including this stunning layered paper art by Yulia Brodskaya... it is her take on Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery. I admire the way Yulia's work is ever-evolving.

Kintsugi (金継ぎ?, きんつぎ, "golden joinery"), also known as Kintsukuroi (金繕い?, きんつくろい, "golden repair"),[1] is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique.[2][3][4] As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
bonbon Floralia from The Arcade June 2020 round
It doesn't sound very Japanese by the name, does it? It's certainly not at all traditional but I love it! I haven't even been to the Arcade yet, since I can't get in so far. But someone who knows me well sent me this red outfit, shoes and mask. Thank you, Seb.
