In this episode of Extraordinary Lives, host Anne Diamond joins Nishikawa Iku, founder of Kintsugi Oxford, to explore the beautiful Japanese art of kintsugi. The term kintsugi means “to join with gold,” which the BBC once referred to as a “reminder to stay optimistic when things fall apart and to celebrate the flaws and missteps of life.” Ms. Iku shares her earliest memories of her involvement with this art form and reveals how new materials have allowed kintsugi to be practiced worldwide, thus preserving its magic beyond Japan.
