Philosophy
In Japan, there is a technique called kintsugi, in which broken or chipped vessels are repaired with lacquer and gold or silver overcoating. Kintsugi is not just about repairing pottery. People find beauty in accidental cracks and chips. It can be said that it is an art unique to Japan born from the spirit of valuing things. This is a repair technique that originated in the Muromachi period, but the concept of Kintsugi is also found in the basic culture of Japan. This is because when immigrants with Yayoi culture moved to areas where Jomon people used to hunt, they did not wipe out the Jomon culture, but absorbed the local culture and sublimated it into a hybrid culture. is. The Japanese have always created new things while transforming and incorporating the heritage of the past into themselves. I want to cherish this Japanese culture of "inheriting".
