SUSTAINABLE SYSTEMS: KINTSUGI

The craftsman from Kyoto talks about finding beauty in broken things and old
things. Does this inspire you to look at things differently?

Kintsugi: The Art of Broken Pieces

 

This technique encouraged me to see a a newfound beauty in broken items. I love how in the video he recognizes how chasing after a new item after something has broken will only make us poor in terms of spirit. I think Kintsugi is a beautiful way to re-create things as well as an important thought process to obtain. When something breaks we should all think ‘wow how can I fix this’, rather than I will go to the store tomorrow and buy a new one.
