Kintsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair") is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum.
As a philosophy, it brings honor and dignity to the broken; treating breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
