In collaboration with one of my favourite bookstore, Scheltema Bookstore in Amsterdam and my Dutch publisher AW Bruna Uitgevers, it was such a joy to present an evening exploring Japanese life philosophy from my latest book YOSHUKU, the Japanese art of manifesting, alongside a live experience demonstrating one of the practices from the book, Kintsugi, the art of repairing broken ceramics and how it can support inner healing and personal transformation.
In collaboration with HUMADE, New Kintsugi Repair Kit supplier, Azumi is bringing one of the YOSHUKU practices to life through a live Kintsugi workshop in Amsterdam, London and New York and beyond.
