# Pottery-Inspired Artful Notebooks Sutta Design Creates the Dynamic Kintsugi Art Notebook By Amy Duong | Published 2024-09-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kintsugi-art References: [shop.yankodesign](https://shop.yankodesign.com/collections/all/products/kintsugi-plain-notebook)  Sutta Design creates the Kitsugi art notebook, which is made with a distinctive look inspired by [Japanese culture and craftsmanship](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sakura-petal-grater). [Ceramic pots are made by hand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpd-pottery-kit) and result in an intricate design due to their fragile material, which serves as the main influence behind the look of these journals. A small movement is enough to break a [beautiful vase](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinetic-vases) into carious pieces or at least create a crack. The Japanese believe that it can still be fixed, which is the practice of kintsugi -- the traditional art of pottery repair. Using golden lacquer, the cracks are filled and patched up to form a new piece of pottery. This artful look translates to the covers of the notebook.
