All the traditional Japanese
arts, in their language of
origin, end in
DO
that means
WAY:
therefore Ken-do (the way of the
sword), Ju-do (the way of
adaptability), Kyu-Do (the way
of Archery), Bonsai-Do (the way
of bonsais). In other words I
use the sword, the bow and the
bonsai to improve myself.
Therefore my aim isn’t to
display my skill or communicate
my way of thinking, but rather
travel along a path of
introspection. |

The master who performs
archery certainly hits
the bull’s eye, but this
isn’t his aim.
His concentration
involves the preparation,
stretching the bow and
shooting the arrow.
If he didn’t have to hit
the bull’s eye, quite a
difficult task, it
wouldn’t be a problem.
In the same way, a
bonsaist who shapes his
plant well will create a
nice bonsai.
But his real aim is to
improve himself through
the daily practice of
being close to nature,
beauty and deep thought. |

Just think that in the Japanese
ancient forms of art, the artist
never signed his masterpiece.
The ancient Raku teacups weren’t
signed, even if really everyone
knew where they came from thanks
to their different features.
Anyway the master didn’t sign
them because it wasn’t important
for him to be acknowledged for
that masterpiece, but rather
experience the journey. |
