It emerged as a response to the cultural values of wabi-sabi, which embraces the acceptance of imperfections and transience. Originally, Kintsugi was practiced by Japanese artisans as a way to honor and preserve broken pottery, turning the damage into an integral part of the object's history. Over time, this technique gained recognition not only for its functional purpose but also for its artistic value.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore Detail: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/suigenkyo.store\/blogs\/column\/what-is-kintsugi?_pos=3\u0026amp;_sid=c1e2b05ea\u0026amp;_ss=r\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/suigenkyo.store\/blogs\/column\/what-is-kintsugi?_pos=3\u0026amp;_sid=c1e2b05ea\u0026amp;_ss=r\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eGuide: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/suigenkyo.store\/blogs\/column\/kintsugi-guide?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=d1caad7d7\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eKintsugi Guide – Suigenkyo Online Store\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsman Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eShikata Kizo Urushi Shop\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1867, they are engaged in the wholesale and retail sales of lacquer and lacquerware materials.\u003cbr\u003eSince then, they have accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience in \"Urushi \/ lacquer\" and have supported numerous craftsmen in Kyoto for over the centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/6621\/9493\/files\/custom_resized_aeb96c98-cc79-48bd-8b47-76d6d2139eb6_480x480.jpg?v=1689938291\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Passion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e“Connecting Memories”\u003cbr\u003eKintsugi is not just about repairing broken tableware, but also about passing on the memories of the vessel in a more beautiful form to the next generation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eYour Contribution to Craftsman\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomer Voice\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eDue to the market structure (link for full articles are attached bottom), craftsman have not known who the customer is and how customer reacts to their work.
