Watch ceramics master "God Hand" restore priceless antique treasures [1]
['Andrew Yi']

By this point, I've developed an appreciation for Kintsugi's signature golden veins, that bring damaged objects back to life with an aesthetic entirely it's own; but I was today years old when I found Tomonaoshi, which seeks to restore objects in a way that minimizes the repaired damage as compared in the Twitter thread below:
Hocam, could Tomonaoshi be another example of how Tawba affects the heart that is shattered by sins?
When I watched the documentary below this hadith came to my mind: "The one who repents from sin is like one who did not sin" pic.twitter.com/c8vdVNarmL — Furkan | 福凯 (@mfurkansimsek) April 12, 2022

I've failed to salvage multiple pieces of pottery before, so watching Mayuyama Koji create exquisite depth using just the perfect amount of translucence to effect a seamless color match, it's evident why Mayuyama Koji has earned the title "God Hand."
