Japan, early 18th c, Edo period. I must also note that “kikujutsu”, as mentioned in their original description, does not translate as 'Japanese carpentry' but as 'the art of (Japanese) carpentry drawing'. The Japanese art of Kintsugi, which means 'golden joinery' or 'to patch with gold', is all about turning ugly breaks into beautiful fixes. Although kintsugi repair makes it appear as though the original piece was mended with gold, the process is essentially a form of lacquer art. It's a bonsai sale, but it's also a silent auction, multi-performance, bonsai workshop, ikebana workshop, tea service, and opportunity to see other Japan rescue items like the Daizen Joinery torii gates. The Art of Japanese Joinery by Kiyosi Seike is one of those books that shows how far one can take wood joinery as an art, not merely as a functional process. The day's events include the opening Drink in the art of Japan and help the Japanese people recover. Help us help them, at a spectacular event in Surrey, Saturday, October 1. Most repairs hide themselves - the goal is usually to make something as good as new. Kintsugi, which means "golden joinery," was born. This lively introduction to Japanese joinery not only delves lovingly into the unique history and development of Japanese carpentry, but also reveals many secrets of Japanese joinery.
