Kintsugi, Philosophy of Resilience | Millennium Gallery Japan
Despite facing frequent earthquakes, Japan has a long history of rebuilding after disasters. Kintsugi, the art of repairing broken pottery with gold, embodies this spirit. It emphasizes embracing the cracks and imperfections as part of the object's history and beauty. This philosophy extends to emotional healing, with kintsugi workshops helping earthquake survivors find resilience and strength.

Kintsugi, Meaning of Kintsugi | Millennium Gallery Japan
Traditionally, Japanese aesthetics value impermanence and the beauty of flaws, reflected in concepts like "wabi-sabi." Kintsugi embodies this by treating cracks as part of an object's story, not a defect. Similarly, life's hardships are seen as experiences that shape us, adding strength and beauty. Millennium Gallery offers authentic kintsugi pieces to share this philosophy of resilience.
