EP 178- Kintsugi: Japanese Wisdom for Your Mind

from Wabi Sabi - The Perfectly Imperfect Podcast with Candice Kumai · host Candice Kumai

In Japanese culture, there are many subtle practices that help cultivate humility, kindness, love, and softness, even in the midst of a turbulent world. Japan, having endured natural disasters and war, serves as a living work of art. The philosophy of Kintsugi teaches us that the cracks—whether from atomic bombs, earthquakes, or tsunamis—represent both pain and resilience. The Japanese people embody gaman, the ability to endure and persevere. We learn to rise, rebuild, and heal. In this episode, I’m excited to share insights from my documentary Kintsugi, and some valuable lessons we’ve learned along the way to help you mend, heal, and restore your own life. Thank you for listening. If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider leaving a five-star review and sharing it with a friend. With love, Candice
