Kintsugi is the Japanese art of taking broken pieces of pottery and joining the pieces back together with gold, making it even more beautiful than before.

Join Maiko on an intimate journey through childhood memories from Japan to the Central Coast, California. As a small girl battling failing health and family loss, Maiko finds peace and joy between tumultuous times.

Maiko has roots in Eastern and Western cultural traditions. Shoshin’s origin is in Zen Buddhism, but the concepts of humility, openness, and learning are seen across world religions.
