ceramic repair by firing; baking broken pottery back together
A traditional Japanese technique for mending broken ceramics by applying a glaze or adhesive and then firing the piece in a kiln. Often contrasted with kintsugi (金継ぎ), which uses lacquer and gold powder.
Yakitsugi is a technique where broken pottery is glued with glaze and fired again.
