IN JAPANESE CULTURE, there’s something called kintsugi: the art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. The idea is to allow breakage – and the process of repair – to elevate beauty and wholeness, rather than treating damage as something to disguise. The concept of kintsugi is the inspiration behind Kintsugi Wellness The Japanese Art of Nourishing Mind, Body, and Spirit — a new book by chef, authorwellness blogger, and prolific TCM contributor, Candice Kumai.
