Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in"
-Leonard Cohen
Kintsugi or golden repair" is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. ---Wikepedia
