Embers International will offer a series of Kintsugi Experience sessions for the purpose of Kintsugi-Peace Making to its clients and those who serve the local communities.
The vision of Kintsugi Academy is generational Kintsugi-Peace Making. “Kintsugi, the ancient Japanese art form of mending broken tea ware by reassembling ceramic pieces, creates anew the valuable pottery, which now becomes more beautiful and more valuable than the original, unbroken vessel” (Art+Faith: A Theology of Making, Yale University Press, © 2021 by Makoto Fujimura). Kintsugi makers do not hide the fracture of the past; rather, they mend it to make New. Every fracture is an opportunity to make into the New. In this regard, Kintsugi is applicable from a broken tea ware to a fractured relationship to a victim of violence to a historical conflict zone. Kintsugi-Peace is the beauty and justice brought out of fractures and conflicts by the courageous and generative community of makers.
