The Japanese truly have a unique way of looking at life, even in the form of a broken cup or plate.😊

​@SandyWolf- nothing was said about Japanese business and political elites being perfect representation of ...

Wabi-Sabi and the aesthetic beauty of imperfection.

Visible mending is a global trend that grew out of Wabi-Sabi philosophy. Ultimately, a visible repair shows that you value something enough to hold on to it. The breakage and the repair become part of the story of the object. In this way we surround ourselves with story and meaning rather than filling our homes, and the dumps with, things that ultimately don't matter. That and the idea of "Mottainai" which roughly translates to 'don't waste what is still useful' create a much different attitude towards consumerism. It's not universal, there's plenty of consumerism in Japan and everywhere else, but it gives one hope.

As my Japanese teacher has said; Kintsugi can be when a person has been broken by illness or emotional defeat or heartbreak, they must "put themselves back together again" and become a new person. The gold repair represents that improvement as their new light of life shining through. I find that to be as beautiful an idea, that has ever been introduced to my thinking.

The kitchen table that I’m sitting out right now is approximately 50 years old. I will be 72 years old in a couple of months. It’s been repaired a couple of times. I have told my sister even if I won a big lottery… This table would be in my new home. My late brother and parents sat at this table. My grandparents sat at this table. It has lots of good memories. ☺️😉

Love this and feel the same way, especially whenever I see specific keepsakes

😳😳😳love this !!

I always enjoy Lucy’s reports

Nothing is ever truly broken, where there is forgivness.

I feel like I need to break something just so he can fix it and make it better looking

Wabi-Sabi beautiful

I would strive to never drop any pot or cup that looked that beautiful.

Love it!

It's not that kinsugi is having a surge in popularity it's just the become a cheesy etsy collector's item in the west. Cheap ceramics purposely shattered to be glued together and sold. As a 20-year trauma survivor with severe PTSD I trained in kintsugi repair years ago. The resins that I was taught to use not only make the vase stronger but the gold adds value. The lesson is that we suffer adversity but that we are stronger, more resilient, and in the end our wisdom is value.

What resin were you taught to use?

Wow, so cool

Beautiful

Excellent food for thought.

Cool!!!

So interesting....building up after being broken....creating beauty after being broken....reminds me of holocaust survivor Victor Frankl who created a new type of therapy for people who undergo horrific life experiences.

I here after watching Ashoka episode 6. Beautiful

I wish to learn the art of Kintsugi. What type of super glue is he using? It Food Grade?

apparently this is a great technique for repairing star destroyers...

Wish I had had access to him decades ago. My son broke a pre 1900 Japanese tea set , 1 cup, and bowl. Sad that an 8 yr old did what was and travel could not.

will this work on glass?

Reminiscent of the Wedgwood scene in "All That Heaven Allows."

Amazing

I am going back to Japan ...

Hold up, he's actually using super glue as the bonding medium? 🤯 This just got a lot more accessible.

Though I doubt those cups and pots could ever be used for hot beverages again.

We can all learn something from baby girl, some of you need to listen up

this will also be good if jane pauley's face cracks

Lame

Lovely video, but it’s incredibly annoying to market concepts/philosophies as perfume, products, politics. It’s important not to miss the sole point of Kintsugi. But then again this is an American video/interpretation of an eastern concept. a 3 min video from a corporate news entity providing a very thin surface level understanding.
