Kintsugi (kintsukoroi) is an old Japanese method of "repairing" broken objects. In kintsugi the parts of a broken object are joined together again using Japanese lacquer (urushi) made from the sap of lacquer trees (Rhus vernicifera) and gold or silver. The underlying idea is that the beauty or value of an object is not lost when it is broken, and when repaired using the kintsugi method, the value of the object is actually greater than before.
