Unearthing New Possibilities and Answers through Traditional Wisdom

From my experiences over the years working on various design and product development projects, I've collaborated with local artisans, design students, and professional designers from Thailand and Japan. Each year, my field trips to various villages, including those of local communities and hill tribes, have allowed me to immerse myself in the local crafts of diverse subcultures. These crafts utilize a wide range of natural materials—fibers, fabrics, paper, bamboo, ceramics, and more. Each trip leaves me in awe of the craftsmanship and creativity rooted in a life intertwined with natural materials. The simplicity yet practicality of these skills demonstrates a profound understanding of the materials' properties through direct experience, trial and error, and insightful problem-solving, traits I believe are innate in all humans.

Sometimes, the convenience of modern life, where everything is just a purchase away, may diminish these inherent capabilities in today's people.

Having the opportunity to reactivate these inherent abilities within us is both fascinating and challenging because these capabilities can connect with concepts of "meaning and value" in life.

Lately, we often hear about the Japanese concept of "Ikigai" and the quest to understand the "reason for being." While understanding from books is beneficial, comprehending "Ikigai" through engaging in small, passionate activities like gardening, cooking, arts, or crafts might enrich this understanding. Engaging directly in these activities allows us to experience the process with full sensory involvement—seeing, hearing, and using our hands alongside creative thinking. Often, we find joy and meaning in life during these moments.

By stepping out of our familiar environments to engage with new settings and experiences we've chosen, we may discover hidden potentials and answers to life's persistent questions—potentials that could provide profound insights into our existence.
