I'm not sure if the technique is the same, but same idea!

I don't know that much about kintsugi but I think this is slightly different. I think kintsugi is supposed to highlight the breaks. This inlay seems to hide the break, so it may be a slightly different practice.

Enlighten me. Why would Japanese people be offended by using a decorative repair technique? Are you Japanese?

jfc, it is not offensive to ask if one repair process is like another in order to understand the context 🙄
