Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold or lacquer mixed with precious metals. Rather than hiding damage, kintsugi highlights it, transforming breakage into a part of the object's history and beauty.
This book features 40 hand-drawn illustrations inspired by the kintsugi philosophy, including cracked ceramics repaired with golden veins, contemplative scenes of mending and renewal, and abstract patterns that celebrate imperfection.
Yes. The book contains a mix of simple and detailed designs, making it accessible for beginners while still offering complexity for experienced colorists. The 8.5 x 8.5 inch square format gives plenty of room for coloring.
The single-sided pages work well with colored pencils, markers, gel pens, and watercolors. For wet media, placing cardboard behind the page will prevent any bleed-through.
Kintsugi teaches that broken things are not less valuable. Each illustration in this book reflects that philosophy, inviting you to find beauty in imperfection as you color. The book includes a brief introduction to kintsugi philosophy.
