Kintsugi is a Japanese art form where broken objects made of porcelain, earthenware, and ceramics are repaired using this special (ready-to-use) golden adhesive. Instead of concealing the fractures, they are accentuated by the golden lines of this adhesive. This imparts a new, unique appearance to the repaired objects and emphasizes that they remain valuable despite their imperfections.
Type of glue: Collall Kintsugi glue is a gold-colored ready-to-use adhesive for repairing porcelain, earthenware, and ceramic items with cracks, shards, or fractures. This highlights the break, small cracks, and other irregularities through the gold-colored lines of Kintsugi glue.

It emerged as an alternative method for repairing valuable porcelain tea bowls instead of simply discarding them.
