Torn things are not a reason for frustration (20 photos)

I offer you examples of cases when people decided not to throw away torn and damaged things, but to make patches on them, but not simple ones, but bright and eye-catching patches.





In Japan, there is the art of kintsugi, the meaning of which is that cracks in ceramic products are not hidden during restoration, but are emphasized with gold varnish. This process has its own philosophy, because the history of an object is made up of shortcomings and flaws.

Apparently, this view of things is close not only to the Japanese.
