"When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something's suffered damage and has a history, it becomes more beautiful."

Love, The Most Beautiful Of Absolute Disasters, popularly known as Venus and Cupid is a sculpture by Shane A. Johnstone which stands on a slight promontory beside Morecambe Bay on the eastern approach to Morecambe, Lancashire, England.
The sculpture depicts a seated woman, facing out to sea, holding the hands of a child who is suspended in the air extending horizontally from her arms, as if being swung round. It is covered in multicoloured mosaic. It was originally intended for St George's Quay in Lancaster.
It was erected in 2005 on Scalestone Point, site of a former gun emplacement, between the coast road and the sea, and commemorates the 24 cockle-pickers who died in the bay in 2004.
In 2011 the artist threatened to destroy the sculpture because the local council was not prepared to pay for its insurance and upkeep. The Venus & Cupid Arts Trust was formed to save the sculpture and to care for other public art in Morecambe. The trust is responsible for the sculpture's insurance, maintenance and repairs.
The sculpture was damaged by frost in the winter of 2017–2018, which caused some of the mosaic tiles to fall off. It was moved temporarily into the Arndale Centre in Morecambe in November 2018, for repair, and was returned to the sea front in June 2019. The sculptor, Shane Johnstone, used the Japanese technique of Kintsugi, replacing the missing tiles with gold leaf to celebrate the repair rather than attempting to hide it. The repair cost over £4,000, including the cost of moving the sculpture.
The artist
Shane Johnstone describes himself as "Originally a fairground artist in Blackpool and Morecambe". His work includes murals, mosaic work, sculpture and stained glass and he has been involved in many community art projects, including a 2015 piece of public art in Morecambe's West End, and the renovation of Ulverston's statue of Laurel and Hardy. Johnstone has said of Venus and Cupid: "People love it. There’s dozens of sculptures along the promenade and two that get talked about – Eric Morecambe and my sculpture"

SAKABUKURO
酒袋
Il sake è il tipico liquore giapponese ottenuto dalla fermentazione del riso pressato, che viene posto in apposite sacche; oggi sono di materiali sintetici come nylon, Teviron e Tetron. Resistenti e di facile manutenzione, facilitano anche la rimozione del residuo solido rimasto all’interno, e il numero di laboratori che utilizzano i sacchetti per la pressatura è diminuito con la diffusione della pressa meccanica.
Prima dell'industrializzazione del Giappone, nella produzione del sake venivano utilizzati sacchetti di cotone chiamati sakabukuro (letteralmente sacchetto/tasca del sakè), permeati di tannino di cachi o kaki shibu. Il sakè grezzo,, riempiva i sakabukuro (letteralmente sacchetto/tasca del sakè) e, sotto pressione, il sakè filtrato veniva espulso. Il tannino, essendo steso sulla superficie di quei pesanti tessuti di cotone, risultava molto efficace per migliorare la trasparenza e la limpidezza del Sake, e l’uso prolungato conferì a quelli oggetti quel tipico colore marrone così caldo e suggestivo. Nel rispetto della tradizione culturale giapponese le borse venivano riparate e rammendate più volte, ed il rammendo - secondo una tecnica che ricorda il Kintsuci- non veniva nascosto ma evidenziato. Il risultato estetico è suggestivo e di grande attualità…pensate al lavoro di Alberto Burri …
Il kintsugi (金継ぎ, o kintsukuroi (金繕い), letteralmente "riparare con l'oro", è una tecnica di restauro ideata alla fine del 1400 da ceramisti giapponesi per riparare tazze in ceramica usate per la cerimonia del tè (it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintsugi )

Temple of the Deep by Miguel Arraiz from Valencia, Spain
The Temple of the Deep is a sanctuary for grief, love, and introspection, formed beneath a massive black stone that appears to hover above participants. This dark, fractured element symbolizes the weight of loss and the strength found in healing, inspired by kintsugi, where brokenness is embraced and honored. Seven narrow entrances guide visitors through the journey of mourning, leading to a central gathering space mirroring BRC’s layout. Alcoves and chapels offer solitude and remembrance, while the seamless integration with the desert transforms sorrow into connection, grounding participants in shared reflection.

I used this bowl, which I bought on a visit to Tachikui with a classmate, as the koicha chawan at my shogo chaji last February. Afterward I shipped it to the U.S. by surface mail, which is the slowest and least safe but also least expensive shipping method available, and it was smashed in transit. :( Maybe someday I can learn kintsugi and fix it.

Poetically translated to “golden joinery,” kintsugi, or Kintsukuroi, is the centuries-old Japanese art of fixing broken pottery.
This unique method celebrates each artifact's unique history by emphasizing its fractures and breaks instead of hiding or disguising them. In fact, kintsugi often makes the repaired piece even more beautiful than the original, revitalizing it with a new look and giving it a second life.
but unfortunately not all broken things can be fixed by gold..
it’s quite intriguing to repair our own loss, pain, sorrow, heartache and traumas.. and all the damage that has been done.. only not to one person but also to our nature..
I think for this subject “TRUE LOVE” is love that causes us pain, that hurts, and yet brings us “JOY”
‘LOVE’ and ‘ACCEPTANCE’ and ‘FORGIVENESS’ also signifies to give us strength and confidence..
I think that is the most powerful that can eliminate broken things.

If this is anything like the previous cement, this is going to take *forever* to cure (although this cement is drier...) and is going to need some clamping and heat. No idea how I'm going to clamp this without it shifting, though.

Because of Covid restrictions, the Diocese of Down and Dromore moved its annual St Patrick’s Day celebrations online with a virtual Prayer Pilgrimage and a live–streamed service from Down Cathedral.
Children and families were able to celebrate at home or locally with a specially commissioned ‘Muddy Prayer Trail‘ based on words from St Patrick’s Breastplate.
Our celebrations normally gather visitors from across the world and begin with a service at Saul, the site of Patrick’s first church. Instead, the Bishop David and the Dean Henry Hull celebrated a simple service of Holy Communion before walking prayerfully from Saul to the Cathedral.
Meanwhile, pilgrims at home were invited to take a virtual prayer pilgrimage with Glynis Matchett with a short film premiered on social media. The pilgrimage is inspired by Patrick’s journey from slave to missionary and reflects on his faith and passion for the gospel. Find out more and take the pilgrimage here.
Unable to gather for in–person worship, at noon Dean Henry Hull welcomed viewers to a live broadcast from Down Cathedral. Bishop David led the service and guest speakers Patrick Regan OBE and singer–songwriter Andy Flannagan joined us by video.
Conscious that the past year has seen many thousands of people face traumatic situations and significant mental health issues, the diocese had chosen the theme ‘When Faith Gets Shaken’. Patrick Regan is the author of a book by the same name and founder and CEO of mental health charity Kintsugi Hope.
Drawing on their own experiences, Patrick and Andy encouraged us to be honest with God in lament and to trust that he brings beauty from our brokenness. Andy sang two pieces – Fragile and a song of complaint based on Psalm 142.
We’re grateful to soloist Ruth Thompson who sang two songs – What Grace is Mine and Christ Be Beside Me – and to the Cathedral organist, Michael McCracken.
Following the service, several local clergy gathered at St Patrick’s grave for a socially distanced wreath laying. Keeping with the focus on mental wellbeing, the wreath was laid by Mr Jackie Breen, a Senior Mental Health Nurse based at Finneston House in Downpatrick.
