Product Details

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas with lacquer sprinkled or mixed with gold, silver, or platinum powder. As a philosophy, this method considers the breakage and repair as part of an object's history. Kintsugi is in line with the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, the acceptance of imperfect elements. Japanese aesthetics value the marks of wear from the use of an object. Behind this technique and concept is a broader meaning that suggests growing and learning from our negative experiences. This technique encourages celebrating the vulnerability of beings. The Contender in the Kintsugi Pack is dressed in premium suede executions in soft neutral tones contrasted yet still showing many details and a subtle contrast of materials, such as Kintsugi executions on the Runbird logo and the Kintsugi symbol on the tongue.
