Oh, I understand that you like your belongings to have character. I think it's called "Aji," right? I love when my boots and sneakers become easier to wear and develop "Aji," but I don't like them to be dirty. Do you get what I mean? I love seeing long histories through nature or objects, like you said. However, I don’t feel good about things that turn into "gomiyashiki." Kintsugi is such a cool technique!
