Premier d’une série de précis sur les savoir-faire japonais et/ou basques, artisanaux, écologiques et botaniques. Le kintsugi est un art ancestral qui consiste en la restauration d’un objet en céramique, en collant les bouts cassés avec de la laque puis en maquillant les cicatrices avec de la poudre d’or. Pour ce faire, on utilise une laque naturelle, un exsudat collant obtenu par incision de l’arbre à laque. Cette résine peut être irritante mais elle perd sa toxicité en séchant. Ainsi il est possible de réutiliser ses plats, ses bols, ses tasses en cuisine. La laque est vivante, elle doit respirer. Cette technique de réparation est méditative, cela demande beaucoup de patience. Chaque étape nécessite un temps de repos qui varie de deux à dix jours. Un objet peut donc mettre un mois avant d’être totalement réparé. Dans ce geste, les Japonais.es trouvent la beauté dans l’imperfection. C’est un art et un acte de résilience. L’autrice Izumi Shimura, est née en 1982 à Yamaguchi au Japon. Depuis 2015, elle exerce et enseigne l’art du kintsugi. Elle vit actuellement à Chiba.
