Contemporary Kintsugi Artist Collective

A movement reviving 'naoshi shigoto'—the traditional craft of repair passed down since the Edo period. It promotes transmitting skills like shoe, watch, and garment repair to younger generations while advancing circular economy practices. The initiative simultaneously fosters young artisan development and stimulates demand for repair services.

A global artistic movement reinterpreting kintsugi philosophy (repairing broken objects for continued use) as contemporary art and design. Ranging from luxury art pieces by Japanese ceramic and lacquer artisans to public workshops and interior design applications. Fuses wabi-sabi aesthetics with sustainability principles, representing a distinctly Japanese-origin value system gaining worldwide recognition.

以金澤為中心，將金繕技法推向全球的當代藝術運動。將江戶時代以黃金修復破裂陶器的技法，重新詮釋為永續性與美學的融合，在世界各地的畫廊與美術館展出。這是日本美學的國際傳播——將瑕疵與破損視為美的哲學理念。

A movement revitalizing Japan's traditional ceramic repair technique kintsugi (gold joinery) in Western contemporary art scenes. Its philosophy of repairing rather than discarding resonates with 'mottainai' (no-waste) spirit, connecting to wellness culture and minimalism. Recognized internationally as a sustainability art expression merging Japanese wisdom with modern values.

Kintsugi, the traditional technique of repairing broken ceramics with gold, has been revalued as contemporary art since the late 20th century.
