What is Golden Repair Kintsugi or Kintsukuroi 
These Japanese Words mean Golden Repair
Kintsugi (金継ぎ) or Kintsukuroi (金繕い)
“Kin” is translated as Golden
“tsugi” means Repair
Kintsugi or Kintsukuroi prizes imperfection. It is the art of restoring broken pottery with gold so the fractures are literally 
illuminated, capturing a kind of physical expression of its spirit.
“As a philosophy, kintsukuroi, celebrates imperfections as an integral part of the story, not something to be disguised. The true life of an object (or a person) begins the moment it breaks and reveals.that it is vulnerable,” says Georgia Pelligrini.
This technique suggests many things. Maybe we should think twice before throwing away broken objects. Perhaps, we should try to repair things rather than assume it is no longer useful. It may sometimes become a more valuable object.
This is the essence of resilience. Each of us can look for a way to cope with traumatic events in a positive way, learn from negative 
experiences to take the best from them and convince ourselves that every experience makes each person unique and even more precious.
Pictured are a few golden repairs that I have done. Doing kintsugi gave me welcome relief when a few things that held sentimental value to me were better than before.
