Originally conceived as a craft to give broken porcelain a second life in renewed beauty, Kintsugi has long since become a philosophy as well. Just as carefully reassembled shards of a broken bowl form a breathtaking work of art with the help of gold particles, so too does a person become who they truly are through all their injuries and imperfections. The deep meaning of life through learning, awareness, and constant growth is perfectly captured by the Kintsugi philosophy, which you can apply very concretely in your own life.

Japanese by birth but transplanted to Europe in adulthood, Miki Sakamoto has spent a lifetime tending her garden and reflecting on its mysteries. Why do primulas bloom in snow?

From rising early to walk barefoot on the grass each morning, to afternoons and evenings spent sipping tea in her gazebo or watching fireflies as she recalls her childhood in Japan, Sakamoto shares observations from a life spent in contemplation – and cultivation – of nature.
