- Japan’s ancient art of celebrating broken pottery is rooted in an eastern philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection. Many believe it can help us to accept our flaws - and foster a sense of peace and fulfilment.

オープニングの器が割れるシーンは、確かに印象的で興味を引くが、番組の内容を製作者が理解していれば、けっしてそんなオープニングは作らなかったと思う。
良い内容だけに残念。
I was lucky enough to be able to take an afternoon class with master Kiyokawa and his amazing apprentice in his Kyoto workshop a couple of years ago. It was a precious and rare experience to be able to receive what they were so kind to share with us.
That sounds like a really humbling and awesome experience. I so wish I could do that someday. As soon as I can ‘actually afford’ a trip to Japan, I definitely want to try and take in some of the craft scenes over there.❤️ It’s what draws my heart the most.
Are you gonna do a video for us on what you learned?
いいね
That had to be an awesome experience 💕 I’m thinking about taking a pottery class! This just speaks mounds into my life! I love Japanese pottery!
I envy you...
What a beautiful concept that represents all things; the process of being broken and then born anew to become stronger and even more beautiful.
The Japanese have a different way of looking at seemingly mundane things...
Which is why it's so interesting
Agreed, especially in the fast paced current times that we live in where planned obsolescence and cheap disposables are the norm.
A lot of people used to, however unlike the japanese, they have lost too much old aestheticism approaches, hence why most of the modern world is running out of cultural identity
I would like to say to the BBC and other western TV stations and other video creators. Please don't lump the "East" together. Japan, China, Korea and Thailand are totally different countries. Vietnam and Cambodia are also different. They have completely different languages and cultures.
When selecting background music, it is very foolish to choose the erhu instrument based on a broad idea of "oriental". There is no erhu in Japan. Also, its melody is not a Japanese melody.
It is inevitable that there are many creators who are easygoing and unlearned, but they also need to be checked by their bosses and pointed out by the audience.

Interesting. While I enjoyed the documentary, the musical application felt conspicuously cliche. Perhaps even with an ignorant audience, lack of authenticity can show through.
That’s such an amazing point to be made!!!
Thank you, it's respectful.

"Try not to hide what you've gone through and your history, even if it was a big accident."
I love this, and it makes me think so much about plastic surgery and other things people go through to hide themselves of their history
There's levels to that, plastic surgery is a legitimate way of improving people's self-esteem when it comes about repairing horrific accidents, which otherwise will make life unbearable for the victim.
Also there’s nothing wrong with having plastic surgery for esthetic purposes, as long as you don't abuse of it. Even the people who follows Kintsugi philosophy uses makeup and perfume.
Kintsugi is a beautiful philosophy of moving on and embracing the things you want to move on from and embrace to, certainly it shouldn't apply to EVERYTHING in life since there are always things we can't bargain with.
Great point.....God bless you........
@@reivaxsplayground6086 agreed platstic surgery is great as long as you don’t overdue it
I think he mainly refered to scars on the inside
Scars on the outside is one thing, but scares on the soul are the hardest ones to heal.
@@justindixon1586 I also think it matters who you're doing it for.
I hear many people say; 'I was called an ugly man, when I was younger, because my nose is too big. Now, I am a wealthy woman and I want to change my nose, so that if they see me again, they will say; 'Wow, I was wrong about her nose, it is pretty now' and they can no longer say something nasty about it."
Which I'd say is not a good reason. There was nothing wrong with your nose to begin with.
Go find the bully that told you that, see if they are an adult now, with proper morals and if they are, ask again. They'll tell you that your nose was the most characteristic feature and that's why they chose to make fun of it.
Zebra's have stripes, horses have none. Zebra's can tell horses they are too plain and horses can tell zebra's that they are ugly with stripes. Both will eventually believe that they are ugly and want each others appearance. That is not how it's supposed to be.

I’ve known about kintsugi for a bit, but this vid had me in tears. The part about the lacquer having to harden before you can put gold on it really got to me. It really does take time. Y’all out here really making me cry on my lunch break while I’m just trying to eat my crackers. 🖤
People DUMP miserable things onto other people.
Just say NO! I won't take it from you!
I broke lots of things today and now my goal is to get ahead of disaster again.
It's a better location to be living at.
Have you seen the Cracker Licker videos? I to was crying till I thought of Marc Headly the Cracker Licker 😂
I’m repairing the 70 year old coffee table my Dad made and now I know what to do with the cigarette burns and gouges. I’ll have to figure out applications for wood but inlay of gold and perhaps a jewel will make it a fine piece of art as it was the day my Dad gifted it to my Mom. Nice.
I have always loved this concept and aesthetic of Kintsugi and Wabi-Sabi. Very grateful for what it has taught me 🙏
Japanese: It is important to use the pottery carefully.
BBC: Break the pottery for just 5 seconds of this video.
"All of us develop scars throughout our lives. But these scars should never be hidden. Our imperfections can be the birth of something new."
Kintsugi is my absolute favorite art form since I cover lots of topics about the importance of mental health and self-improvement. Wish I could practice this one day soon.
Some of the ceramics -- especially the black glazed ceramics -- look even better with the gold compound!
この番組の制作者に彼らの言葉が少しでも届いていれば、故意に器を壊すような冒頭の不快な演出は思い付かっただろう。
It's such an extraordinary art tradition, very noble! I'm very impressed with this episode of BBC!
And more impressed by this Japanese tradition/art!!

He looks like the Japanese version of Alan Rickman (may he RIP) and Alan Rickman was a very handsome man as well.

My dad was a potter, and he always used to say "It's good when people break pottery. Keeps me in business."
My dad was also a potter and sculptor.He used to break his own imperfect pieces by throwing them out the back door of his studio.

This five minute video provides so many life lessons. Let's embrace yourself even your flaws because they are also part of you and your life history. Thank you.
The art of perfecting imperfections. Somehow I feel very hopeful that this is happening somewhere in the world.
I love the philosophy of fixing the 'cracked pots' :) it gives me a good feeling to restore something to make it re-usable and rejuvenated, while not hiding it's past.
This is not just fixing broken pottery, yet it's more on treating our failures and uncertainties in our lives positively!!!! Awesome!!! Thanks BBC
No, no, thank me!
I saw people giving their broken dishes and bowls to a man to fix them, but gold was not used. The idea of using gold in cracks is genius.
This is how I view my past, yes I was broken, yes I have scars, but now I embrace my flaws
❤❤❤
Leave it to the Japanese to think of such a thing. Wow.
Kintsugi, which uses lacquer and gold dust to restore vessels, is a traditional technique that has been passed down in Japan since ancient times.
Kintsugi is a practical technique for repairing broken vessels. In fact, lacquer is used to connect pieces, so gold is a decorative item that enhances the appearance. And since it is gold powder, it is not expensive.
In the days when there weren't many things, the idea of "repairing broken things and using them again" was the norm.
The Japanese value that "things have their soul" born from Zen, Shinto, and Buddhism is important, and then the wonderful technique of "Kanatsugi" appears.
Kintsugi was evaluated as art during the Muromachi period, including the Sengoku period (civil war). The concept of Wabisabi was completed around this time.
So, recently, there are people who intentionally break vessels to make Kintsugi, which is completely different from the idea of Kintsugi. The most important thing is to use each vessel carefully.
I want to learn more about this since it sounds really interesting! A few months ago I picked up some of my pieces from a pottery class I was taking, and a bowl I made has a split down one side. I'm keeping it stored away for now while I'm not taking classes, but it would be cool to be able to do some sort of technique like this to fill it with the help of my teacher at some point! So strange how some people are breaking stuff on purpose to do it though.
So, if I could repair my favorite mug like this, I could still use it? Even with hot liquids?
It’s interesting to wonder how the many devastating earthquakes that Japan has been through influence the culture. This is one of those ways.
exactry yes
Real talk..
Can this technique fix a broken marriage?
(ノo`)
yes glue and gold will in fact save your marriage
God is the glue and humility is the gold

@@skyeldridge9018 translation : I'm glad you introduced me to Japanese culture, thank you.
@@skrillex1124 You're wrong. He's Japanese, so he already knows what kintsugi is. He basically said "Thank you for introducing Japanese culture (to the world)".
this is such a beautiful way to look at life and the things that surround us. its a good thing to be aware of the little things. there is beauty in everything.
i love that they do not hide the 'scars' but even highlight them as part of the item's history.
冒頭、ワザとバシバシ壊すなんて。
そっから、あきまへん!
Japan has so many amazing inventions

What a beautiful philosophy
That guy looks wise. I would love to listen to what he has to say, and not just about his craft.
確かに金継ぎの精神は素晴らしいが、動画始めの皿割るところって演出のためにわざと割ってるんだよね?
金継ぎの根底にあるのは作品に対する愛情のはずなのに、BBCは全く理解できてないんだろうな...
あり得ない。悲しい😩💔
Yeah. what BBC did by intentionally breaking potteries in the beginning of the video, just to demonstrate how it could be repaired, totally goes against the Japanese philosophy behind the art of kintsugi. Some Japanese commentators are disturbed by this & actually feel sorry for the pottery that was broken on purpose (many Japanese still believe that inanimate objects have spirit living inside it, so you should treat them with respect).
Thank you for focusing on wabisabi.
But seems Japanese philosophy is difficult to westerners..
I think it's just a matter of perspective. But I'm sure there are westerners that open to those philosophy.
I just love the BBC Reel vids concerning Japan. Such a fascinating culture and such excellent mini documentaries! I also remember the vid about the abacus, truly wonderful. Thank you!
冒頭、撮影のために割るなよと思う...
''And you will be reborn because of that accident''.
Okay so for a nano second I thought this guy was Alan Rickman in the thumbnail
Came here to say this. He looks exactly like him. I was taken aback.
same.
Came here to make sure someone pointed this out.
I just commented this on another’s comment about how he was a handsome man (the Kintsugi man I mean). I said he looks like the Japanese version of Alan Rickman!
He looks very much like Alan Rickman!
He does! 😮
It’s such a beautiful idea, calms the mind.
The pieces look even better with the repair crack. It is a very good Tradition.
This is wonderful!! It's been on my mind to repair a vintage lamp that was sadly broken.....I can hardly wait to make it unique!! Thanks!
We in the west would benefit from emulating the traditions of mending and preserving.
Denice, I thought about that too, but so many of our western goods are plastic. They are cheap, difficult to repair and made to be replaced frequently. Much of western culture is BUILT upon constant consumption
Such a beautiful video.
This was one of the most beautiful videos I' have ever watched!❤❤wow such a powerful, beautiful message to be learnt. This tradition is amazing.
I love the idea except for the tree part. Where is the lesson in that? Ending a tree's life so that u can repair an object or even "urself"? Even as broken it exists. And life is all about being broken. I dont believe that beauty could come from killing. Everytime id look at the object id think about how a tree died so that it could be restored, where even in pieces it had its unique beauty.
@@apriloneil8393 that's what parasites do as well
@@naturefrc3986 well this is still better than making new pottery which would kill even more plants. its not like this is an extremely popular art anyways.
Also, whatever device you used to watch this, was made by killing trees and animals, as electronics use a lot of metals gold, lithium etc which leads to deforestation as they need to mine them. lets not be hypocrites here. we should try to use the philosophy of this art and try to fix and reuse things more. yes there is costs to that as well. but less so than making things anew
@@OOOOOO-dx7zu i never claimed to stop using materials. But i always try and do it in the least harmful way. Like when i need wood i get thick brunches not trunks. Let a tree grow tall and old instead of cutting it while its still a child in tree years. And the devices i have are always the minimum that i require to function. I have bought only 2 phones in my life if u should know exactly because of that. Shall i go ahead and assume away like u did with me and claim that you possess a thousand of them then go to mommy and ask for more? As you can see assumptions are easy but a poor state of affairs for everyone involved.
@@naturefrc3986 it doesn't really matter how many devices u have used. Even though it is commendable that u have used far less. You said you try to minimize material use, so u should know that reusing things is best for the environment. That is all. When u buy new things it affects things in a much bigger level. Even if this art kills things (let's be honest almost everything does) it is still better than the alternative.
"That’s how the lights gets in, then you’re golden"💛
Splendid! and greetings Japan.
Beauty in inperfection🙏 thank you arigato
Thank you for sharing this. This is the foundation of all life. One must learn to embrace it.
This is beautiful.
Came here after Lana Del Rey's song. What a beautiful concept. I want to do this with the broken things in my home now
Broken but Beautiful ..✨❤😍
We should consider this for ourselves when we feel broken ..
We should embrace our imperfections and fall in love with flaws. ❤
Die Idee es so zu machen, finde ich gut.👍👍😀😀😀 Viele Grüße aus Germany
Meaningful and healing tradition I adore 💖🌼
I never heard of this art before today. I’m sad for the things I’ve thrown away and happy for the things I’ve kept anyway.
What a beautiful culture❤️
Kinsugi 😍
I fell in love with this concept since the day I found it. I even did a little animation of the word 金継ぎ (kintsugi) ✨
because the word and writing is also beautiful
What a beautifully done in-depth understanding. 🙏🏼

When imperfection brings something to perfection.
So many wise words. This video has been a blessing.
A life lesson on its own and a journey to such a highly valuable and powerful art by itself. Restoration as I see it have never been more impactful and in the process its also a transformation and a artist touch!
THANK YOU FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL VIDEO! THE JAPANESE CULTURE IS SO ARTISTIC - IN ALL ASPECTS! IT REMINDS ME
OF THE AZTEC - OR MAYAN TRADITION- IN ALL THEIR POTTERY / ART THEY WOULD DELIBERATELY LEAVE A FLAW/
IMPERFECTION- TO SHOW THAT EVERYTHING CREATED BY A HUMAN IS IMPERFECT- THEIR BELIEF IS THAT ONLY
GOD CAN CREATE PERFECTION- SO A HUMAN MUST NEVER STRIVE FOR PERFECTION- AS IT IS ONLY ATTAINABLE
BY GOD- IT WOULD BE ARROGANT TO POINT OF PROFANITY FOR A HUMAN TO BELIEVE THEY COULD CREATE
ANYTHING PERFECT.

Broken things can be mended, and not only become more beautiful, but more valuable with the gold.
Who came after pathaan movie?
This dude is the spitting image of a Japanese Severus Snape! Mr. Rickman lives on!
I have a few kintsygiJapanese bowls. I bought them when they were already kintsygi bowls, so I did not have a relationship with them beforehand but I still find them nourishing. The different levels of meaning of kintsugi seem most important to me.
Your philosophy and art is Heartwarming
xoXOxo
I actually made some watercolor pieces for my senior show gallery centered around kintsugi. One shows a bowl with the technique and a girl covered in scars from her depression. Another has a person covered in gold scars helping someone that isn't reattach her arm (land of the lustrous scene for reference) to show our past experiences can be used to help someone who may be going through what they went through.
At first glance, I thought he was Snape from Harry Potter movies 😓
I love this, I see it as an elaboration of what I sense. I love broken things..when I buy things at second hand fairs I don't always notice the chip/crack etc but my other half does. This irritates me because I feel I must see the overall beauty of something without honing in on the usually small defect which I find could also be a metaphor for life...
Wonderful
I love this
he reminds me of Alan Rickman (professor snape) 😔RIP❤️
Right video at the right time.
I came across this concept only yesterday while listening to Sunil Bhandari's Uncut Poetry on Spotify.
This is such a beautiful take on life!
Imagine breaking several plates and stuff to make the intro of a video about repairing them.
the point of the video is to show us how Japanese people repair pottery and the metaphor it represents and you say the broken items in the intro are invaluable? do you really live a life that lux that you can just break items without having to worry about the cost? rishbish

Kintsugi is the ancient art of repairing accidentally broken pottery, not a culture that goes to the trouble of breaking things to restore them. For this video, the BBC broke some plates and glasses, but if they understood this culture, they would not have made this video.

金継ぎは一度やってみたいと思ってる。素人がやる本格的では無いものだけど。
あと、オープニングで綺麗な食器が割れるのは勿体ないなと思ってしまった。
おおおぉ…金継ぎだ!
金継ぎって『物を大切に使う』って考えなのに、冒頭で陶器を割る演出は金継ぎという『日本の文化』を馬鹿にしてるとしか思えない。
[完璧]という概念が日本には元々無く、何事も[不完全]であることが前提であった。
そう考えると完成を求めて人は最後まで成長を続けられる。
This is one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a long time. Learned so much watching it. Outstanding.
What an inspiring story! Thank you.
This is so deep.
Amazing!
I still have my broken pottery of my childhood era and planned to make an talisman of it, but never done.
Now my decision ist, to restore my pottery by that Kintsugi-Specialists in Japan in a time I will visit Japan in my life.
After this and if somebody visits me, I will tell stories of my past and that I had discovered beautiful things that never came without the accident.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video🌷
Amazing work and tradition...but i wont repair my pottery from IKEA with this...
It will became more valuable if you do.
All that tells you is that, if you can afford to, you should avoid buying throwaway quality goods like IKEA dishes, which mark, chip and break so easily and need to be replaced so often. The housewares equivalent of fast fashion, they are only cheap due to the artificial disparity in the cost of labour and materials caused by neocolonialism. But they "cost" just as much as more expensive dishes in terms of energy and materials expended at the cost of the environment and human effort. To save money, you are better off using second hand dishes-if they survived this long, they are probably decent quality. Or accumulating better quality dishes slowly over time (and repairing them if they break).
I'm getting a Kintsugi heart tattoo today to celebrate surviving breast cancer.
