The art of Kintsugi embodies new beauty made through imperfections. It’s an artistry of mending broken pieces, symbolically representing how fractures in our lives can be transformed to places of beauty and power. Artist Mako Fujimura and lawyer/entrepreneur Haejin Shim Fujimura launched Academy Kintsugi in 2020, making traditional Kintsugi more accessible as a practice for anyone to participate. The Identity captures the fractured letterforms coming together embodying the philosophy of the artistry.
