Listen "Kintsugi"
Episode Synopsis
Today's episode is about the Japanese art form of kintsugi, which means "golden mending." I learned about this art form from a friend a few years ago and have returned to it often as a metaphor for faithful and generative living. Kintsugi repairs broken pottery by mending the cracks with a gold lacquer. The breakage is viewed as part of the history of the object and not something to disguise. that doesn't . Makoto Fujimara has written a recent book, Art and Faith: A Theology of Making, in which he devotes an entire chapter to kintsugi. He also speaks about it at length in the commencement address he gave a few years ago.Feedback? I'd love to hear from you at [email protected]. Thanks for listening, friends. You are loved and never alone!
