Note on Mujo Series:
Inspired by traditional kintsugi* techniques for tea bowl repair, the Mujo works are items with flaws emerging during the production process that have been stabilized but intentionally left visible. The result leaves an additional “recorded happening” in the piece evoking the spirit of fukanzensei no bi and mono no aware – the ephemeral beauty of imperfection and impermanence.
“Mujo” comes from the Buddhist term mujo, meaning “impermanence”, alluding to the ever-changing nature of our reality where all things are in a state of constant evolution within the natural cycle of birth, life, decay into death, and rebirth.
