FAQ About The Impact of Kintsugi on Modern Craft and Philosophy
How does Kintsugi relate to the concept of ‘wabi-sabi’?
Kintsugi is closely related to the concept of 'wabi-sabi,' which emphasizes finding beauty in imperfection and transience. Wabi-sabi appreciates the natural cycles of growth and decay, seeing charm and value in things that are aging or flawed. Kintsugi physically embodies this by turning the imperfections and history of broken pottery into visually celebrated aspects of an artwork.
