金継ぎは「大切に使っていた器が割れてしまった時に修繕する手段」です。日本の技術ではありますが、日本の芸術ではありません。
その独特の金の模様が美しく感じるのはとてもよく分かりますが、器を壊すくらいなら、そういう模様をつける陶芸家になれば良いと思います。
日本の宗教観のベースにある神道を調べてみて欲しいです。
日本は物を大切に長く使う国なので、修繕技術をこのように使われているのはとても悲しいです。
hey, uhh sorry, but this video was made like 5 years ago? I think the uploader wouldn’t notice

そうですね、気がつかないと思います。ですが、私のコメントはあくまでこの動画を観た人に、金継ぎの技術が誤解されることを防ぐためです。
今日本では、海外から多くの方が訪れています。熱心な人は日本の文化を勉強してから来日してくださいます。そのような方に、芸術のために食器を割る国だと思われたくないのです。
また、既に沢山の方がコメントしていましたが、日本特有の宗教観や慣習や感性に触れている方は少なく思えましたので投稿した次第です。
ほとんど自己満足のようなものです、ご心配ありがとうございます。
@@greenlight7468 Hmm, but it makes me wonder, what is the best way to use the art “kintsugi”? I feel like there aren’t enough tutorials for this concept.
@@healthychannel9323
金継ぎはそもそも芸術ではなく修復術です。身近なもので言えば接着剤や糊に該当します。
確かに美術的に美しいことは間違いないですが、それはあくまで修復した結果に付随する副産的価値です。大切なものを壊してしまった時の対処法が、結果として美しかっただけのこと。
金継ぎそのものは芸術ではありません。
陶器ですから、絵付けの段階で金継ぎのような模様を施せば良いのであって、わざわざ割る必要はないのです。
長く大切に使うための技法であり、壊して美しくするための術ではないのです。
不注意でお皿を割ってしまった時には是非とも使っていただきたい技法ですが、物を壊してまで使って欲しくないというのが私の思いです。
極論で言えば“金継ぎのために物を割るな”です。
文化圏が違うのでなかなか難しい価値観なのかもしれませんね。
@@healthychannel9323
金継ぎはそもそもの用途は糊や接着剤と同じです。金で装飾を施し、漆の跡や割れ目を誤魔化しているだけにすぎません。結果的に美しく見えるというだけです。金継ぎは芸術ではないのです。糊を使うために絵画を破いたりはしないでしょう。
絵画にも陶器にも作者がいます。作者も壊される前提で作ったりしませんし、私たちも作者に敬意を持って大切に使います。だからこそ金継ぎという技法が生まれたのです。
金継ぎが美しい見た目をしているのはとてもよくわかります。ですがそれなら、金継ぎをしたような模様がある陶器を作成すれば良いだけで、壊す必要はないのです。
少々言葉使いが悪くなりますが、“金継ぎを使うために食器を割るな”ということです。大切に使うために一度壊すなんて本末転倒です。
文化圏が違うので難しい価値観かもしれませんが、どうかご理解いただきたいですね。
I am Japanese and happy someone from other race appreciate Japanese culture but this is incorrect practice of kintsugi. It is not about breaking on purpose. Just wanted to clarify ^__^
Yea I understand. But at the same time it is kinda lovely that they took something beautiful and gave it their own meaning and appreciation behind it too.
Thank you for mentioning this. I'm not Japanese (Iranian) and I wanted to explain this but you made it easy for me. The whole idea of breaking the object intentionally is against the philosophy behind kintsugi.
ほんとそう。たまたま見つけた動画で、これほど嫌な気分になったのは久しぶり。
Sezi Mik In a way, it is actually the direct opposite of said philosophy. Instead of less consumerism, it turns into mystified stylishness.
I was thinking Just the same.
わかるよ、金継ぎって綺麗だからどんどんやりたくなるよな
でもそれは壊れた陶器に対して行う行為、言わば「修理」であってわざと壊したものに対して行う行為ではないのよ…
I understand, Kintsugi is beautiful, so we want to do it again and again.
But it's something you do to broken pottery, in other words, it's a "repair". It's not something you do to something you've intentionally broken...
世界中のたくさんのコメントが、これは金継ぎではないと説明してくれて嬉しい。
背景の精神まで含めて初めて金継ぎと呼ぶべきだ。
The excess symbolism is so American here, and unsurprisingly, wrong in how it translates Japanese culture. The tableware is not supposed to be broken intentionally (the hammer is basically redundant), but since it adds the "dramatic factor" to the practice of her field, she wrongfully undermines the tradition of Kintsugi as a means of not just art (which is what this person believes) but also of repair in times of need, not times of selfish want. The veined beauty is a product of time, not of... hammer abuse.
なぜ完成している器をわざわざ壊して金継ぎするのか理解に苦しむ
他の方が述べているとおり、金継ぎは「壊れてしまった」器を修復するための技術
うわ、最悪
物を大切に扱う心から生まれた技術なのに
金継は芸術から始まったわけじゃなくて災害大国の実用的な面から生まれた技術です。自分で陶器を壊して繋ぎ合わせるのは本来の「金継」の意図から外れています。
Kintsugi is supposed to be the way to fix the accidental damage to make it look like art, not being used for intentional breakage...
Please don't mess up the tradition.
Traditions die without being embraced in new ways.
i thought it was just for the demonstration
Without demonstrations there's no learning that can be done.
This process is inspired by Kintsugi. We can access many of the beautiful lessons that this art has to offer
It's a video. Chill. It's a demonstration.
I had a ceramic tea cup which I treasured greatly (because it was so pretty and I was broke college student, so that tea cup made drinking tea an experience for me as I couldnt afford many).
My roommate while putting dishes away accidentally knocked it over and it shattered into three pieces.
To say I was heart broken was an understatement. My roommate was so apologetic cause she knew I would use that cup at least 3 times a day. Sounds silly but it was just something I associated simple joy with.
Long story short I couldnt part with it. Googled ways to fix it and happened upon Kintsugi. I unfortunately couldnt find the correct materials to make it usable again but with some gold paint and resin I put it back together.
Its now a tiny green and gold planter for a tiny succulent I was given for a holiday party.
I am not Japanese so I could 100 percent wrong, but I feel like purposely breaking good pottery to practice this art form is sort of strange. The process feels 100 percent different when you have to do unexpectedly.
Again, Im not Japanese and I am no expert- perhaps Im still broke to ever justify breaking good things on purpose for art. I just feel this sort of takes away from the original idea.
*Also*
This isnt meant to hate on the lady. I think you have insight and its sort of therapeutic.
How long did the process take you?
well this is not really Kintsugi, just call it DIY Kintsugi
🤣
I agree, not only the deliberately breaking part, the repairing is also totally different from that of Kintsugi
I am Japanese, born and raised, and I am of a generation that enjoys Japan's current culture, for better or worse.
I am happy for non-Japanese to open a Japanese restaurant, or to have bonsai or karesansui in my garden.
The wearing of kimonos by non-Japanese, which people sensitively react to as cultural theft, is also received rather favorably by the majority of Japanese people.
However, that does not mean that everything is acceptable.
Japanese people value civility and the soul.
There are traditions that are not explicitly stated, such as not throwing garbage on the street or not talking loudly in public places, and they call them manners and value them.
Kintsugi is both a technique and an art, but before that, it is a soul.
I believe that people are impressed by kintsugi in Japanese culture because they feel the soul in "beautifully repairing a broken object, leaving the scars intact, and making it into something unique.
Therefore, it is human folly to "prepare broken things" for kintsugi, even if it is for practice.
In other words, it is a clear cultural theft as far as your act is concerned.
こんなの金継ぎって言わない。
I really don't think that this represents Kintsugi accurately at all.
That it does not.
yeah because she’s a female
She literally went there and learned it 😂
Well she ain't gonna fucking sit around waiting for something to break. Twat.
@@AJediSurvivor hey there snowflake! who let you off your leash?
I don't think she understands Kintsugi
I think she understand the opposite of Kintsugi
初めっから違うんだよなぁ…
Bish please. You just super glued a bowl back together.
Kintsugi is not like this at all. This video is cultural appropriation.
何も理解していないなら何もやらないで。それだけです。
これじゃない感がすごい
Ridiculous.
As Japanese, I am convinced that you will NEVER understand what kind of mind kintsugi came from.
You would go to the trouble of breaking a vessel to do this?
If you want to do FAKE "ART", that's fine, but please don't call itself Kintsugi.
This is NOT kintsugi. This is nothing more than a superficial imitation.
No one goes out of their way to self harm for reason of "they are more beautiful with scars"
It is the same with vessels.
Kintsugi is the act of sparing a vessel that is accidentally chipped or broken, and by restoring it, loving the history of its previous use, even the history of them once broken history.
Your "art" is empty.
" When you're holding a hammer, everything around you looks like a nail."
なして最初から壊すん？？？
Ya know, if you want it only for the aesthetic, you can just paint gold lines on your bowl.
When cultural appropriation manifests as a derivative-esque analogy. Dr., you make psychology and western culture look bad.
Who's here after listening to Lana Del Rey?
me! what a beatiful song. It brought me to tears
ひどい。
割れた物を長く大切に使う文化であり技術なのに。この人は全く逆の事をしている。
これが日本文化だと思わないで欲しい。
“Do not fix it right away”
*takes out glue*
So I actually think this is one of those moments of cultural appropriation which though not malicious is not right. So Kintsugi is about fixing something that broke and not wasting it and giving it a new life after misfortune.. She is not doing that. She is breaking something on purpose then remaking it, then I am assuming selling it for a profit higher that its original value. This totally going against the original philosophy.
Exactly. I appreciated her interpretation of this, but couldn't put my finger on exactly what was bothering me. Call it something else, and acknowledge your source, but don't give it the same name.
Actually I don’t sell these pieces, I use this art as a therapeutic intervention for people who are amidst challenge, change or trauma. You are right, that it is not authentic, but it is incredibly powerful when used as a method to heal. 🙏
@@dr.alexaaltman2024 Every craft and Hobby is Therapeutic, this is just one of many things you can do as a method to heal
dangeldoll I completely agree
Perhaps calling it Kintsugi Therapy would be better?
This is kinda sad? She use some cheap glue not resin lacquer, and i think that is not even a real gold. This craftsmanship is used on pieces who are very rare or special for our heart. Its kinda tacky. And there are even more amazing repair techniques.
Thank you. She learned how yo do it correctly then did this. And the piece she put back together was not well done. Where is the tonko powder to fix the holes? Why did she leave the joint crooked. Sloppy and disgraceful to the art form in my opinion. I can understand what she is saying but I don't like what she did.
yeah, or at least use ramen
Something to be said for authentic art, masters and their apprentices...
Boo hoo theyre not gonna drop 10k on a tutorial
@@poopybutt7390 she could have used the footage of her in Japan. Or bought a 200$ kit
This is not the Japanese culture of kintsugi. Feel free to do this for healing, but don't treat it like Kintsugi. You could call it "destruction patchwork."😅
The end result is beautiful, but it's nothing like authentic kintsugi. And I muted it halfway through so I didn't have to hear the lame, obvious, over-simplified mental health buzzword catchphrases she was using.
It was not supposed to represent authentic kintsugi. I am a mental health professional and use this art as a method to help people heal from what feels broken open.
@@alexaaltman3511 the video is literally titled "the art of kintsugi" dont bs me and tell me you wernt trying to represent the original tradition
literally what i was thinking!
Aurora Dreamer Goodful asked me to participate. I did not create the title or the editing of the content. My intention was not to showcase the authentic art form but to interpret the art for another purpose.
Oh so this is actually more of an mindful thing and learning to be slow and still.. I love that idea! 😀
But yes, the title should be something else, because those who would gain from that mindfulness idea, won't find it, and the people who thinks this is the philosofi of kintsugi, Will be disapointed. That's sad, I think.. 'Cause I love the idea of doing this for inner calmness 😊🥰
Japan : This is our traditional art with showing philosophy of our accepting damage of object and while repair damage showing respecting history of being...
This Artist : HAMMER
Well that was disappointing.
"Healing is about connection, not perfection" As someone whose struggled with mental health my whole life, this quote was really cool.
I think even if don’t use the correct method, at least make the repair look good. Using cheap clumpy glue and paint made me cringe.
You DO NOT purposely break vessels for this historical restoration and artisanal purpose!
For people looking for authentic Kintsugi videos there is literally a YT channel called Kintsugi. Amazing process.
The only thing getting hammered, other than her bowl, is her actually thinking that this is Kintsugi.
Basically it's Kintsugi Art not "art of kintsugi"
As same as everyone here says, the porpose of Kintsugi is not breaking something.Please include a note of correction in the video.
英語出来る人、誰かこの人にきちんとイチから金継ぎとは何なのか説明してあげて。
最初やり方を説明するために壊したのかと思ったけど、アート作品として作ってるのに日本人の精神性まで勝手に妄想してるっぽいし
意識高い系だから正面から正論ぶつけて否定しちゃうと面倒なことになりそうだけどさ
It's like a painting restorer damaging works of art to show off his skills.
If I want to apply this kind of kintsugi to my own life, should I start by smoking meth and then pursue a PhD?
Yes, that would work
Nothing screams "pretentious" more than a white woman teaching people about ancient Japanese arts and the deeper meaning she personally assigned to them.
This.
Yes! This is the comment I was searching for, well said.
You people are so fucking sensitive. Everyone's allowed to have their own viewpoint on things. If you disagree with hers, that's fine but nothing screams "pretentious" more than you bringing up someone's race and gender and believing that is the determining value in someone's belief system.
Nothing screams "pretentious" like people who have to bring race and gender into everything.
@@bloodmoonyt1901 if an Asian person tried to do a video about Jesus and being a republican according to him, you'd loose you minds. No go back to something you're qualified to whine about like tucker Carlson and leave the rest of us to keep thriving
You have to fill the cracks , let it dry to do it again and again , I have a whole box of kintsugi ‘tools ‘, it takes a month to complete . She only got a hammer , cheap glue , a brush and gold paint !
good for you.
@@kristianpoulsen9689 surely
00:23 "alexa altman, phd" Good Lord, wtf does Phd have to do with Kintsugi? Or is it that you wanna rub your degree all over people's face?
If you watched the video, then you'll know it has to do more with wholesomeness and observing our histories than it does about pottery.
Get a load of this loser without a phd.
cultural misappropriation is different than honouring cultural heritage by expressing the inspiration than has come to us from various cultures. As an multimedia artist I want to try this practice coming from my own heritage but not to buy into possessiveness but to be at both ends of sharing. What my results are part of the ever-changing nature of culture. The philosophy of Wabi Sabi is about impermanence, imperfection, and ever unfinished.
Deerheart Adornments so beautifully stated.
this is super glue it and paint the crack gold...
As someone who works at a school with trauma ( south side of Chicago ) I am looking forward to showing this video to my students so that we can repair some of our ceramics that blew up or cracked in the kiln
No, I'm not thrilled by this intentional breaking of something to repair it to "look pretty". I think on the surface, this is what it appears Dr. Altman is doing. So from an art teacher perspective, I don't like this too much
However, then from a mental health perspective, I really like this video. My students spent two weeks working with clay, struggling with it, finally making something they liked... and it comes out of the kiln broken. I wouldn't be surprised if a few physically throw their work away in the garbage
BUT I'm hoping that this video will make them slow down... the blowing up & cracking wasn't something they could control, and it sucks ( pardon me ) that it happened, BUT that doesn't mean their artwork is now 100% useless
It's going to be hard to encourage my students to not give up on themselves or their artwork when they see just how many blew up & cracked after firing... however, just as Dr. Altman was saying about mindfulness and sitting with our broken parts and wanting to repair ourselves, this *awful* clay unit in art class might be a really good chance for a life lesson on how to recover when something goes wrong (like trauma)
Please share something more authentic to your students so you are not passing on misinformation.
As an ex art student, I wish you were one of my teachers. Secondly, I feel the same.. I have cracks and have fallen so many times and broken. Still I wish to be beautiful in a way that I see in myself.
Please help out som of your students with some of their baggage. They need people like u.

I'm learning about kintsugi to teach a high school class about it but create a project with a concept of "it broke, fix it" and they will mend a slab cylinder with an open wall closed with yarn. It's obviously very general and using the concept of kintsugi in a very very loose way. but i look forward to teaching them the philosophy surrounding kintsugi, its valuable to me and i believe my students could benefit from it
I ended up on this video but i knew right away that what she was saying was not accurate to the real japanese traditions. honestly right when i heard her voice i knew this video wouldn't be accurate.
This is more like kintsugi "wanna-be"
Now I got an excuse for destroying all my mom's dishes.
LOL!
haha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DO NOT breat intentionally - this is NOT Kintsugi
How to ridicule a wonderful process!
The moment I saw her breaking the bowl on purpose I stopped watching. Goodful, do some research before making a video, let true craftsman show how it is done.
This was not supposed to represent authentic Kintsugi. I went to Japan to learn authentic kintsugi from a master. I got his blessing as I was going to use this beautiful art as a method to work with people who are struggling with breaking open in some way.
@@alexaaltman3511 I am looking to go to Japan an learn, could you please tell me where and with whom you did learn in Japan. Thank you, have a nice day.
I’m a social worker and I think this would be a really good way of therapy and have a physical representation of healing. Whether or not it is directly authentic, its a great analogy. And sometimes therapy is purposely breaking your secret open so that you can heal so even the breaking of it yourself is a choice instead of dealing with what other people have broken.
well it would be harder to wait around for a bowl or vase to break in order to do this. I think this video is less about the authenticity and more about the technique itself
I’m Japanese. I don’t wanna be offensive,
But this is not correct.
I think many people will get my feelings.
The main reason we repair using kintsugi technique is like this . You have so much memories and love for the cup and used carefully but accidentally you broke it or worn out. Can you just throw it away?
Maybe it’s a gift from your grandma who died. You can’t throw it away as garbage.
Then, you use kintsugi techniques and use it. So kintsugi cup is never better than a nonbreaked cup. So breaking it on purpose is almost opposite .
Is it difficult for foreign people?
I think all humans has one of those culture
So I was surprised to see this.
For example you have a 50year old retro bike given from your grandpa.You fixed and fixed a lot. Buying a a new car will be easy and money saving but you love that old car. Something like that
We all get hammered 😏
Or nailed ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I wouldn’t break any piece on purpose, but this is how I’ll mend whatever I can that is broken.
There is a wonderful sister doing your teaching. I believe after reading the correct meaning of this beautiful purposeful art, she should have people bring what is already broken then give them the tools to make their kintsugi Art. However, your bowl came out beautiful 😍
There's a deeper meaning in it..even if we fail,or broken in some places in our lives,God moulds and mends us ,He in His grace joins the pieces and uses us for His glory.. whoever is going through all the brokenness, remember God is working on your pain .. Just trust.. love and prayers from India.
Thanks for the good words
Gold speaks of that which is divine- true wholeness comes from God himself…
Me: Mom? Can you buy new bowls? My soup is falling out of the bowls.
Mom: We have bowls at home.
Bowls at home:
step 1: break it
step 2: look at the pieces
step 3: glue is about glue
step 4: dont forget to breath while waiting
step 5: holes are places where stuff isnt
step 6: gold is fancy looking
step 7: eat cereal
this is just an application of the practice to a therapeutic cause. in that light, intentional breaking makes sense. nobody wants you to break your own pottery on purpose. i liked the video for that purpose.
Except if it's not a part of the tradition, she is presenting it as part of the process. If it's not, it's not.
That's actually appropriation.
@@tdez6060 cultures are not owned, they exists, coexist, overlap, get shared, can and should enrich peoples lives. It flows in many ways.
you're not supposed to break it on purpose in some kind of spiritual way, but shrugging that off, I can understand breaking it just because you want to make a kintsugi piece, but gluing it together and painting it with metallic paint is totally different from the actual way of doing it, which is attaching the bits together with laquer and powdering gold on it, which also looks a thousand times better and makes the piece useable, without holes in it
I can understand making the most of a broken vase or other decorative object by embellishing it but I cannot understand breaking an object even if for a video demonstration. I've just glued back together a beautiful new terracotta Italian-style vase badly broken in transit from the seller and will cover it with filler/spackling and then chalk paint.
Breaking and pasting something that is solid indicates that there is a problem in your way of thinking.
金継ぎの何たるかがなんにも分かってない人がやるとこうなるんだなって…。😢
本当に悲しくなるわ。
The end result was neither beutiful or useful. Not the way you wanna end up in life. Plus, she ruined a really nice bowl...
I don’t think the point was for it to be beautiful or useful. I do think it was partially incorrect in the way that she broke the bowl on purpose, but I think the point of this is about self love, acceptance, and being able to be happy with who you are. Cause in the video she was making a lot of statements about not hiding the cracks or covering the cracks up in the bowl. Instead she did the opposite and highlighted the cracks to make them stand out. Also i actually think it turned out beautifully in the end
I seen this on NHK and always loved this concept.
My name is "doctor"?? 🤣🤣🤣 No, your name is Alexa. Doctor is a title.
I'm here after watching the last season of Bojack horseman
Kintsugi isn't supposed to be done on ceramics you are breaking purposely.
Life is like this - like scars and injuries. Let the wounds heal, by remembering instead of forgetting. Accept the existence and respect these wounds and let them tell their stories.
the intro gives me anxiety
I don't believe I spent the time to flick through this.
Thank you. I have a beautiful large red glazed pot that broke during a move. I have cemented it back together and it still holds the planets tree well. I look at the mended cracks and now am inspired to paint those cracks with gold to represent that I am not broken but, mended with gold.
I found this after someone posted a comment about the art form in a Succulent Lovers group. Some plant collectors create a fairy garden from broken pots, each with a story reflecting life and the beauty of nature.
I appreciate this as a beautiful life metaphor. I think this is meant to be a lesson on repairing ourselves, not pottery.
Love the analogy!
Hello. Thank you for your instruction. I have one enquiry. Can I use Kintsugi to repair a Japanese-made donabe. The thing is that the temperature could go really high for a clay pot on oven top. Would it remain food-safe for a donabe with kintsugi restoration on? Thank you!
You don't hammer ceramics. If you apply that explanation (which is practically similar to the value of kitsugi in Japanese)
THEN THAT MEAN HUMAN RIGHT ABUSE IS BEAUTIFUL FOR YOU!!!
This is Japanese way of giving new life to a something that you value but deteriorated due to old age!!!
my heart broke when she break the bowl
You had me "We all get hammered"! lol
yes, indeed, we all had our hammers in our lives, we still have gaps and missings. I understood the meaning of breaking the bowl intentionally. It's about the philosophy behind it. It's not just repairing things. A broken life cannot be repaired or glued and painted as nothing had happened but it can be brought back and renewed with the experience we've been through.
I like this process- fixing something (someone) that was broken. Seeing the beauty in the after. Nice video.
What about mixing a gold flake or coloring into the glue ?
mr. kojak thank you. Love that idea!
@@alexaaltman3511 I see the point of impact damage from the hammer strike. it makes me want to try using a chunk of 2x4 to hit it with. My thinking being that it might not create the damage crater the hammer does .
@@alexaaltman3511 also thinking it would be a great gift idea for someone that went through a serious illness, accident, or a particularly bad break-up
金継ぎは愛しんだ物が壊れてしまったのを惜しんでなおす行為なのに最初に破壊するなんて
物への愛の無さが伺えてとても悲しい
What is the glue and the "gold" colour you are using? want to buy and try for myself.
The face of cultural appropriation.
金継ぎは補習技術が芸術に昇華したものであって、意図的に破壊するのは資材を浪費する行為であり、金継ぎの持つ意義に反している。
文化的意味や物の大切さを理解出来ていない以上、仕上がりがどれだけ美しくとも、卑しい偽物でしかない。
これは土産物屋のIconと同じだ。
I find this very inspiring
I love it when people sugarcoat what they are doing.
Nice video, liked what she was saying would’ve been nice if she told us what she was using to rejoin and make golden.
So many of these commenters have clearly forgotten what an object lesson is and have rather chosen to jump on a bandwagon relegating independent thinking to others. This video was NOT a tutorial on kintsugi, people, but a way to visually communicate a common human experience with a beautiful and very fitting art form that happens to come from another culture that we appreciate. Thank you, Dr. Altman, for the effective visual. I benefited from what I believe was your intended purpose.
You broke a perfectly good bowl
This one exist also in my culture in Burundi 🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇮.
We call it: "Ikiremo" in short or in full : "Gutera ikiremo".
Amazing, Burundi 🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇮 and Japan sharing the same culture.
@Salnsd I think that it just a surprise. The ikiremo exists more than 600 years in Burundi.
It’s not authentic, but I love the metaphor of it all. The lessons.
I broke my mug and Google how to fix it...
This is way to deeper than what I'm looking for.
I really love the idea about fixing broken things with connection. To create a peaceful mind!
I wonder where I could buy the golden paints.
