Biography

K I N T S U G I

"Kintsugi, also known as kinsukuroi, is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique."

The sculptor worked around his piece carefully. He chipped away the precious marble, slowly revealing the beautiful gaoler within. A small hatchling with a flowing mane and small horns. The sculptor worked tirelessly for days, weeks. He wanted it to be perfect. He wanted the stone to look soft and to flow. After months of hard work, the piece was done. It was perfect. Even the eyes looked soft and innocent, just as a hatchling should be. The sculptor kept his creation safe. Keeping it behind a case, not wanting anyone to break it or scratch the smooth surface. The sculptor struggled to find a drive to sculpt anything else after finishing the gaoler. Nothing would ever be as good as that.

One day, as the sculptor was polishing the statue, he bumped into the pedestal. He tried to catch the statue, but it hit the ground and shattered. The sculptor was heart broken. His most prized possession, his most perfect creation, destroyed. Months of work, shattered in seconds. The sculptor gathered up all the pieces he could and set them aside. He would fix the statue. He had to. The sculptor went to the nearby market and bought some gold. He found it in the form of earrings, but his intention was to melt it down and fix the statue. His intention became a reality. He melted down the gold and filled in the cracks of his shattered statue. He reattached pieces and filled in gaps with gold.

The marble began to move. The mane startled to fall victim to gravity. Flakes of dust drifted off of the statue, leaving behind soft fur interrupted only by smooth gold. The statue shook out his leg and stretched out his back. The sculptor reached out and gingerly touched the statue. It, no he, still felt cold and smooth, like marble, and yet he also felt soft. It was as though every strand of his fur was made of marble. The statue nuzzled the sculptor's paw and smiled. The sculptor picked up the statue, he was much heavier than he looked, and placed him softly in front of the fire. The statue made quick work to grab blankets and snuggle in deep.

The sculptor kept the statue as his own son, but made sure to keep him safe. The sculptor always told the statue, "my son, you must be careful. You cannot fall or be hit. You must not let plants grow on you, so you must stay clean. Do not let animals or bugs on you, they could damage you. You must be very careful my son. You were not made for a world of dragons. You should stay inside, next to the fire, where you can be safe and warm."

The statue listened to his father and always stayed by the fire. He loved the fire. And he loved his blankets. And he loved when other dragons sat with him. Although, other dragons did make him a tad bit nervous. Nearly everything made him nervous, but he knew he had to stay cautious, his father had told him so. So, the statue stayed by the fire where it was warm and safe.
