Immutability and Fluidity
.
“Fuekiryuko” is one of the foundational concepts of the renowned poet Basho Matsuo’s Haikai poetry. It literally means ‘immutability and fluidity,’ or ‘constancy and change.’ The idea of Fuekiryuko states that, while on the one hand, we inherit things that are unchanged or should not be changed, on the other, pursuing new originality and continuing to change is the true nature of immutability. Both of these seemingly conflicting forms actually stem from the same root and are parts of the same whole.
.
GATO MIKIO believes that we should preserve as immutable the spirit and skills which merchants and craftsmen in Yamanaka Lacquerware have cultivated over its history, but we should also remain fluid with our continual transformations in practice. We continue to change ourselves to meet the demands of the times, while always valuing the traditions of Yamanaka Lacquerware.
