Abstract

Literally, the Kintsukuroi refers to use the golden to repair the porcelain. It is originated from the piece of golden paint of the "Xiushi craft" in China. The craftsman would bond the broken pieces of porcelain with lacquer of natural resin. And then, they would use the gold foil to make the decoration. This article introduces the humanistic foundation of origin, development and formation of Kintsukuroi art. To repair broken porcelain with curium nails has a long history. It belongs to the restoration techniques. Kintsukuroi also inherited the restoration techniques. Essentially, it belongs to the field of lacquer art. In this paper, the author will also make the comparison between these two techniques in the crafts and the humanistic connotation. The appearance and glory of Kintsukuroi art originated from the general public's love for the precious porcelain in realities and the spiritual worship for the incomplete debris. The restoration aesthetics and cultural connotation contained in it are equally worth pondering. In this paper, it explores the embodiment of humanistic feelings in Kintsukuroi and its thinking and cognition.
