Kintsugi is an ancient Japanese restoration technique. In the world of Kintsugi, the value of a piece is not lost because it is scratched, but rather the scratches are what make it work and enhance the existence value of the finished piece.　Through this experience, many people will see themselves in the chipped vessels and feel the value that a scratch is rather a value, and that even if broken, it can be repaired.

Kintsugi is not simply about repairing chipped vessels, but is an aesthetic practice that gives even "scratches" a value and transforms them into something more beautiful than they were at first.　Kintsugi culture, nurtured against the backdrop of Japan's climate and customs, is the essence of the world-class spirit of treating things with care.
