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. ☺️😉
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Love this and feel the same way, especially whenever I see specific keepsakes
The art of showing that something may be even more beautiful after having been broken
lIKe pEoPeL!
The Japanese truly have a unique way of looking at life, even in the form of a broken cup or plate.😊
I felt this way till I saw they were dumping nuclear waste water into the ocean
@SandyWolf- nothing was said about Japanese business and political elites being perfect representation of ...
Wabi-Sabi and the aesthetic beauty of imperfection.

What resin were you taught to use?
Love it!
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
I would strive to never drop any pot or cup that looked that beautiful.
Wabi-Sabi beautiful
Wow, so cool
Beautiful
✨🤗✨
God used Kintsugi when he put MY broken pieces back together and I wear it proudly everyday.🌈

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

Rotten little crumb crushers
Hold up, he's actually using super glue as the bonding medium? 🤯 This just got a lot more accessible.
Yes, but the good stuff and look at how tiny the applicator is.
I wish to learn the art of Kintsugi. What type of super glue is he using? It Food Grade?
Have seen ALL these segments before.
Not me.
@@makeracistsafraidagain some did, some didn’t. Just wondered if the Hollywood strike affected Sunday Morning as well.
I am going back to Japan ...
will this work on glass?
Amazing
Lana del rey sent me here
Though I doubt those cups and pots could ever be used for hot beverages again.
Doesn't matter as long as they're pretty.
They can be used just as before.
Waste not want not 😊❤
