Kintsugi: The Poetic Mend

I used to book and a kit I purchased to make something for my wife. She loved it.

I found this book after reading a devotional about how we can look at the scars of our past and find the beauty of it. We don’t need to be victims of past events that left us broken. But look at what it did to your ability to show compassion to help someone else going through the same pain? Weave love into the broken pain from your past and see beauty from the broken dreams hopes don’t look at life that way, move forward, use your life and it’s uniqueness of pieces to help others see your true beauty scars are the gold painted mended pieces what we choose to do with it can become beautiful art.

This book is beautiful and profound. Incredible knowledge and grace filled reflections on mending pottery. I keep going back over and over the ideas presented.

The book is beautiful. See more on NHK if you are unfamiliar.

This book is a meditation on the Japanese art of kintsugi and on the stories of connection and healing that scars can tell. Stirring anecdotes and gorgeous illustrations are interwoven with solid research into an enticing whole. This is a book to cherish.

Prodotto conforme. Consegna veloce.

This is a wonderful book. It contains an excellent blend of key historical information, insights into how kintsugi has been used by different artists and personal anecdotes. In many ways it is these anecdotes which are the true gem of the book as they create a bridge for the reader between the theory of kintsugi and the impact it can have on a personal level. The photos are a mixture of kintsugi in the modern world, important historical pieces and illustrations of the journey the author has taken. I was particularly inspired by the links to tea ceremony. This book is a must for anyone who is interested in pottery, ceramics, tea ceremony or living a more sustainable life.

Bought as a christmas gift, which I'm sure she will love.

Loved the history, the people, the meanings of each repair, and the modern interpretations. Fascinating read. Well worth buying.

I thought this book was really beautiful and interesting.
