Up: [[Metaphor]] Created: 2023-05-31 Kintsugi reminds me of psychological healing because both have cracks that, when mended, become more beautiful. It is similar to psychological healing because cracks are inevitable for both pottery and people. But it’s different because the psychological cracks often have their genesis in the very earliest stages of the person whereas pottery cracks can develop out of nowhere. Kintsugi is important because of the emphasis on the gold. Gold is the ultimate in alchemical work too. Image of Kintsugi pottery and of this metaphor in reality at [[Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer]].
