- By Charlotte Wang, Ed.D. for Sovereign Magazine – December 31, 2025
The first time I encountered Kintsugi, I was learning to live with the scars of multiple heart surgeries. The Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, not to hide the cracks but to highlight them, felt like a revelation. It offered a way to reframe my own brokenness, not as something to fix or conceal but as part of my becoming. That philosophy became the foundation of my book, The Kintsugi Way of Embracing the Journey of Healing, where I translate the seven stages of Kintsugi into a framework for human recovery.
