Makiko and the Broken Pot

By Sylvie Verkaaik

"It is through the process of repairing the pieces...that we begin the process of healing." Makiko is a young girl who doesn't want to visit her grandfather's house, two hours from Tokyo. He is too old and grumpy, and he doesn't allow the use of smartphones. But, after arriving, Makiko discovers a secret about her late grandmother: a broken teapot that holds a mystery to life and healing. With some gentle words from her grandfather, Makiko is determined to find the missing pieces of the pot. So, she enters the woods, where she knows the pieces are hiding. And, with the help of a three-legged fox and a blind bear, Makiko recovers the shards. MAKIKO AND THE BROKEN POT teaches the Japanese concepts of Wabi-sabi and kintsugi, embracing imperfection and discovering its beauty.
