Über diesen Titel

Episode 13 of Lost Words: The Forgotten Language of Humanity explores the Japanese art and philosophy of “Kintsugi,” the practice of repairing broken pottery with gold. Rather than hiding cracks, Kintsugi highlights them, transforming damage into a visible and meaningful part of the object’s history.

The episode explains how Kintsugi reflects the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi, which values imperfection, impermanence, and the passage of time. Through this lens, breakage is not failure, but evidence of life, use, and survival. What was once broken becomes more valuable because of the care invested in its repair.

Drawing a parallel to human experience, the episode shows how Kintsugi offers a powerful metaphor for healing. Emotional and psychological wounds do not need to be hidden or erased to move forward. True healing is not about returning to who we were before the break, but about becoming someone new who carries their scars with dignity and strength.

Ultimately, the episode presents Kintsugi as a gentle lesson in patience, honesty, and resilience. It reminds listeners that cracks do not diminish worth — they reveal depth, history, and the quiet beauty that emerges when broken things are treated with care.
