Hello people today this will be my first blog this term, term 2. This blog is about the topic we will be focusing on this week and possibly next or the next few weeks that we will be working on. As you can tell in the tittle this will be about Kintsugi. If you have heard of this word you probably already know what it means and if you haven't yet I will explain what it means just for you!
Kintsugi is a Japanese word meaning golden repair or golden joinery in English. This is one of the Japanese arts Japanese people does in Japan and this is like a traditional art for them in Japan. It is an art where they repair broken pottery by fixing the broken areas by mixing powered gold, silver, or platinum with glue and stick it in the broken parts and it makes beautiful design that the old plain cups, bowls, pots it was back then. This type of art is really amazing because even though you might not be able to use it anymore it can be a great design inside your house!
Well that's all for my blog today people! Thanks for reading! I'm sorry its a little bit short...
Kia Ora Kristille,
ReplyDeleteThis is a very good description of the Japanese tradition of kintsugi, the artful mending of broken pots and vases using a gold-inflected lacquer. Ka pai! Do you think this art of repair has something important to say about mending relationships between people?
Hi Mr.Collins!
DeleteThank you for commenting on my blog and sorry for replying so late..And yes this art is an example of something that no matter how shattered you are, you can still get fixed just make sure not to get used by the wrong people once again!
