It is missing , but he is not mended
Look at that? It's so cool," one of them said to me when we went out for charcoal-grilled yakitori with my fellow potters. He was pointed a chipped vessel that had not been kintsugi (gold-plated) but had been carefully sanded and used. The ruggedness was what made it so cool.
It was as if he was trying to express his will without being bound by anything, and it touched my heart. When ceramists get together, they talk about how to make ceramics (not to deny), look at the backs of vessels. It is a little troublesome for the store owners, but it is also interesting.
It reminded me of the yakitori I have tried to cook at home or take out over the past few years, but it was not enough.
I was craving it. I missed the laughter of my friends and the smell of the charcoal fire. Yakitori is only at a restaurant, after all. Thank you for the food.
