"Kintsugi / Fumi Naganuma"

"Kintsugi" is said to have been born with the popularity of the tea ceremony culture.

Tea ceremony is enjoyed as a hobby of those in power
When Tea Ceremony Utensils were symbols of wealth and power
It seems that he was able to make a gold joint that doubles as a decoration in order to cherish the tools.

The other day, I had the opportunity to have a teacher in the ceramic art class teach Kintsugi.

I will use it as it is without returning it to my parents' house.
