RealKintsugi is a cultural project founded by Marco Montalti in 2016.
The goal of RealKintsugi is to keep alive the ancient Japanese restoration process of Kintsugi, following the traditional method and spread the knowledge about this fascinating tradition. Kintsugi in Japanese literally means “fixing with gold” and it represents the beauty of imperfections. 
Kintsugi is the idea of embracing the flaws and imperfections of something that was once broken to get an even stronger and more precious piece of art.
The cracks repaired with gold, represent the story of the pottery, an unrepeatable story which make every piece unique.
Kintsugi is a great one-of-a-kind art piece that has great sentimental value, since it represents the strength and effort behind every single scar and the ability to recover from a trauma into a new form that is even stronger and more precious than before.
