Kia ora, bonjour, Hola, Guten Tag, Konnichiwa, Nǐn hǎo, Salve and Zdravstvuyte
Today in Wga we have been learning about Kintsugi.
What is Kintsugi?
Kintsugi is Kintsugi is the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold — built on the idea that in embracing flaws and imperfections, you can create an even stronger, more beautiful piece of art
Here are some of my ideas of kintsugi.
Using colourful patches to mend your jeans
Fixing a friendship by apologising (and really meaning it)
Yourself--think of all the times you’ve fallen over or failed a test. These aren’t anything to be embarrassed about! They help you learn and have made you who you are
Fixing a stuffed toy if an arm or leg gets ripped off
Fixing an issue talking about it and fix what went wrong
Fixing a family problem - Getting your family together and talk about what is happening
Putting up a stick to help hold the new tree up
Hi Nevaeh,
ReplyDeleteThis is a good description of the Japanese tradition of kintsugi, the artful mending of broken pots and vases using a gold-inflected lacquer. Ka pai! I agree, that "repair" can extend to mending relationships between people? What qualities do repairers have, in your opinion?
