FAQ About The Impact of Kintsugi on Modern Craft and Philosophy

Is Kintsugi limited to gold-embellished repairs?

While gold is traditionally used in Kintsugi to highlight repairs, other metals like silver and platinum can also be used, and some modern iterations use non-metallic pigments for artistic variety. The emphasis is on creating a visually striking contrast that celebrates the repair rather than camouflaging it, allowing for creative exploration with different materials and finishes.
