Kintsugi Craftsman Traveling To Kumamoto To Repair Earthquake-Damaged Family Heirlooms


Recommended Posts

Posted

Kunio Nakamura has been putting his kintsugi skills to use helping others for years. To this day, he repairs pieces damaged in the 2011 earthquake that devastated Japan’s Tohoku region.
 
Following last week’s Kumamoto earthquakes, Nakamura has been sending out tweets reminding people not to hastily toss out their cracked and broken pottery. Instead, he encourages them to tape the smaller pieces to the larger ones and store the bundle in a plastic bag. Once recovery operations settle down, Nakamura plans to travel to homes in Kumamoto and offer his services, free of charge, to those with broken heirloom ceramics.
