Kintsugi – golden joinery or golden repair

This is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. The process usually results in something more beautiful than the original.
