We would like to introduce our knowledgeable guest speaker, Shuichi @kintsugica Topic: Art of Kintsugi Room: 1st Floor Heritage Lounge Hours: 5:00pm - 6:00pm What is the topic about? Kintsugi is a technique that repairs broken pottery using only natural materials, restoring its strength and making it food-safe for practical use once again. Even in today’s technologically advanced world, this technique remains one of a kind. In recent years, Kintsugi has gained popularity for its associations with resilience and sustainability. However, its roots can be traced back to repair techniques used in Japan thousands of years ago and are deeply connected to Japanese cultural heritage. In this lecture, I will introduce the art of Kintsugi from a broad perspective, exploring its materials, techniques, history, cultural background, and the ideas and values that have shaped the practice in Japan. About Shuichi Shuichi is among the foremost Kintsugi artists in the world, having trained in Japan for nearly two decades. His work, underpinned by traditional beliefs and techniques, is of exceptionally high quality and has earned him a strong reputation among museums, antique collectors and individuals in need of restoration services. As a messenger of authentic Japanese culture, he also engages in lecturing activities. by @nihonchacanada
