In recent years, "kintsugi" (gold lacquer repair) has been gaining attention not only in Japan but also overseas. Born and cultivated during the Muromachi period in the context of the tea ceremony, this technique embodies the Japanese spirit of accepting scars and enjoying them as part of the scenery. In this book, the author, who is involved in restoration in a variety of fields as a lacquerware restorer and also holds lectures and workshops to convey the appeal of kintsugi to many foreigners and business executives, introduces the history of kintsugi, artisan culture, and designs that express aesthetic sense and sensibility, as well as memorable anecdotes about the reasons for its popularity overseas, for both domestic and international audiences. This book will help you understand why kintsugi is accepted and appreciated around the world and its appeal, which goes beyond just beauty.
