The Japanese art of repairing broken pottery and porcelain using a lacquer and powdered gold or silver is called kintsugi. The word kintsugi translates to "join with gold", and the technique is based on the idea that embracing flaws can create a stronger and more beautiful piece. Instead of masking the breaks, kintsugi highlights them to tell the object's story, and pieces that have been repaired using this technique are often considered more valuable than before.

Notes: Formerly broken and repaired. See images.
