Thank you to Ms. Aizawa for spreading this craft and philosophy. I learned to appreciate Kintsugi about 6 years ago as I underwent a religious deconstruction and divorce; it was the worst period of my life. But through it, I learned to let go of my concepts of how my life should have turned out and also how to deal with suffering. I have a deep meditation practice now that has brought wisdom, insight, and a greater inner peace than I had even before that tumultuous period. It takes work but you really can emerge out of brokenness even better than before. In my bedroom I now have a piece of canvas art that is indigo with a gold kintsugi-like crack pattern to remind me of this.

I saw this in broadcast and loved it! I’d like to see a longer segment or feature on her and this craft!

Where can I join the online classes
