Kintsugi invites us to make a pause.

Kintsugi invites us to make a pause.

Ten years ago, we made a short film about the art of Kintsugi in Tokyo and Kyoto. When I first learned about Kintsugi, I discovered that the repaired cups often need to be left in a wooden cabinet to allow the glue to fully set and for the repair to become strong. This process can take some time.

Often in our lives, we want a quick fix.

We want to heal right now.

But sometimes healing takes time.

So that's something else can work with us.

And though we want to move forward,

you want to come out of all the tensions

you want to leave the place that hurt us.

We're asked to sit and pause.

and know that everything is well.
