Kintsugi is a 500-year-old Japanese practice of repairing broken pottery with gold lacquer. The philosophy is simple — a broken object isn't something to hide. The repair is part of the history. The gold cracks become the most valuable part of the piece.
In the 16th century, Japanese collectors would deliberately break good pottery just to have it kintsugi repaired. The broken version was worth more.
CRACKED on crimson red. Because some people are built the same way — the cracks are where the gold is.
