This DIY Workshop in Tokyo’s trendy Meguro Ward offers visitors a chance to learn the art of kintsugi under the instruction of a skilled artisan. The concept of kintsugi, repairing broken ceramics with gold lacquer, has grown in popularity in recent years. For some, it is a form of therapy and meditation, a symbolic restoration of something broken in their lives, made beautiful by highlighting the flaw rather than hiding it. For others, it’s simply a way to enjoy a traditional Japanese craft that has been practiced for nearly 500 years.
