（一）

In Japan there is a tradition called kintsugi. When a bowl breaks, the pieces are joined again with gold. The repair is not hidden; it is made visible and beautiful. A broken bowl, mended this way, can be worth more than it was when it was new.

A friend of mine learned this tradition after her own life broke apart. She lost her job, her marriage ended, and she had to move back into her parents' house at the age of forty. “I felt like a cracked cup thrown away,” she said.

She began to study kintsugi with an old craftsman. What she learned was not only a skill. She learned that the crack is not the end of the object; it is the place where the object's history shows. “The bowl does not pretend it never broke,” the craftsman told her. “It says: I broke, and I am still here.”

It took her two years to rebuild her life. She found a new job, smaller and less impressive than the

old one, but one she actually enjoyed. She also began to teach kintsugi to others, most of them people who had been through difficult times.

She now keeps her first repaired bowl on a shelf by the door. She shows it to every visitor. “I do not want to hide what happened to me,” she says. “The gold is in the repair, not in pretending.”
