Audrey, je réalise, à l'écoute de ta conférence, que mon obsession à réparer tous les objets, n'est pas seulement par souci d'économie ou pour réduire mon empreinte écologique mais bien pour donner un peu de ma vie à l'objet. Ça donne un sens beaucoup plus sacré à l'énergie et le temps que j'y mets. Ce qui a été brisé par erreur, ignorance ou inconscience peut maintenant mériter mon attention pour révéler plus de beauté..

Best explanation I’ve seen anywhere. I admire and am grateful for your courage to do this in English.This process can teach us so much wisdom. Well done!

Such powerful words and healing wisdom! Thank you.

So beautiful. Thank you for sharing

Lot of thanks for sharing your ideas about this technique. Full of sense for everyone's life.

Beautiful.

This is a poem that expresses the meaning of Kintsugi in my life, even though I wrote it well before I had heard of the concept. MOSAIC “Mosaic: a word that means from the muses, from Moses and a work of art created from broken fragments of pottery, stone or glass.” Even the first time, surrender was not hard, though the grownups and mothers with their drinks and swizzle sticks undoubtedly thought it so when you volunteered your only present that 10th Christmas to a younger child who wouldn’t understand being giftless at the tail end of a line to Santa, nor your inherent sin in being born. Such generosity should have stayed between your concept-of-God and you, but grownup admiration (you could not hope to make your act unpublic) sullied the soap of any generosity’s power to cleanse you. Other atonements followed, only one almost perfect, being perfectly anonymous spoiled by an accomplice’s later telling. Perfection? You never made that grade, your terrible love for God demanding all life from your life. No one told you, “Live a lot,” not in words that made it matter, though they doubtless counseled, “Live a little.” You were always in school to be perfect, never knowing that life is a classroom where one learns to love flaws by throwing bad pots, to shatter them with careful hammer, assembling beauty from broken things.

Très belle explication! Merci Audrey

Needed this. Found this.

Beautiful... thank you for sharing. You are very inspiring. Please come to Vancouver, Canada to do a workshop. I will provide you with beautiful and comfortable accommodation and eager students.

Merci Audrey

I really enjoyed this. She is a beautiful and amazing person no doubt.

De-esser is missing.

Is it just I who hears her Japanese accent? I accidentally broke a plate that has a photo of my wife and me made in Okinawa, in 1978. The kintsugi repair would’ve been nice to know about before that superglue set. 😔🥳

Thank you!, but It’s not “Sabi”, called “mugi urushi” or “nori urushi” to stick broken pieces together.

Very interesting but subtitles not good.

Jesus Christ is The Kintsugi Grandmaster of souls and lives and those who study the Bible seeking him become apprentices to this Perfect One who himself never needed repairs, ever, in his life. Yet, he chose to become broken that through him others might set out on their journey to discover and be repaired even though they continue to fade. They become more beautiful to him. His craftsmanship is obvious. It is explained through His Spirit in the Bible’s book of Ephesians (especially in Chapter 2 verse 10) where we are described as his workmanship. I hope you will take a moment to read Ephesians to see how Jesus is the Grand Master Of Kintsugi.
