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.
Kintsugi ( or Kintsukuroi)) is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold. As a philosophy it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
The purpose of these photos was is to personify Kintsugi very literally. To show that people are broken and damaged but can be repaired and that makes them that much more beautiful.
To get this photo, the model was covered in gold-dusted makeup and gold-leaf was glued to her face and body. I then glued gold-leaf to the tree as well to create unity.
I composed this photo the way i did to create more intimacy between the photo and the viewer (much closer up). Again, the gold on the tree closest to the camera creates beautiful depth.

Kintsugi is a beautiful way of showing accepting imperfections and even being proud of them. If you drop or throw or break a dish it’s not ruined, it’s even more skibidi! The cracks on my drawing represent the tradition of repairing broken pottery by fixing broken parts with "urusni lacquer" dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver and platinum.

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 )
Inspired by kintsugi, I’m filling in any dinks on my acoustic guitar with gold marker. It’s only a cheap guitar so I’m not precious about it.

Hej igen, Idag har jeg fået en rundvisning af Kintsugi udstillingen, og prøvet "Livet på spil", en interaktiv del af museet. Efter rundvisningen, sad jeg med i et møde om hvordan museet skal lave det ville gøres med guidede ture i "Mind the gut". I den sidste time fik jeg så en guided tur af bare på museet i det hele taget. Da turen var færdig måtte man lige selv gå lidt rundt og kigge på kollektionen udstillingen "Det indsamlede menneske", hvor man kan se mange forskellige ting i kaiserlings væske. Det som nok fangede mit øje først var de siamesiske Seismiske tvillinger som I ser på billedet. Vh. Gabriel (erhvervspraktikant) --via Instagram ift.tt/2wXJQz2

I was born autistic. Like a pearl, I started my life with a little grain of sand that needed nacre to shine. People like me are often exposed to bullying or abuse. I was and my spirit got broken. Treat us with love and respect and you'll be compensated with the bloom of an orchid. Today, I still use "masking" to try to fit in society, but my mask is broken and, like Kintsugi, it's getting repaired with the gold of time so people can find my beauty by embracing my imperfections.
