However, Japanese culture values "Mottainai"—the belief that it is a waste to throw away usable things. Instead of discarding broken ceramics, craftsmen invented Kintsugi. They glued the pieces together with natural tree sap and painted the cracks with gold. This method turns damage into a beautiful feature, allowing items to be used for years.
