This ancient art form based on the \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eof Wabi-Sabi philosophy of embracing the flawed or imperfect. Highlighting the cracks and repairs as simply an event in the life of an object rather than allowing its service to end at the time of its damage or breakage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis September, JTA welcome back \u003c\/span\u003eAi Shimizu, a Kyoto-based Kintsugi practitioner who is already a part of the JTA family.
