KINTSUKOROI
Kintsukuroi (KInt-soo-gi) is a Japanese art form…it is ancient…very old…it consists of repairing broken pottery with little bits of gold.
The idea is a simple one…innocent at it’s core
Where something that’s been broken can come back more beautiful than before.
It is a wonderful lesson…how something broken can be more beautiful…and new
It’s a lesson, if I’m not mistaken, that applies to people too.
Very educational; I wonder if
Very educational; I wonder if this concept dovetails into the aesthetic of wabi-sabi.
... I came back to amend this comment in order to thank you for helping me to locate an interesting article on wabi-sabi, which includes a mention of the Kintsujoroi, and which applies to many different art forms within the Japanese culture. As a bonus, the article linked me to a video about wabi-sabi, which I have not had time to watch yet, but that will be reserved for later today. I thank you very much for this poem, which has caused me to do a little research and find some very ineresting results. Thanks again.
