Makoto Fujimura just sent an incredible flood of thoughts and emotions over me. I had a very dear friend who has passed away. He had traveled to Japan as a young man. He brought back a beautiful handcrafted clay sake bottle. The sake had been enjoyed on his journey home, but he cherished the bottle. He kept it on a table near the entrance to our living room. On day his brother walked by the table and bumped into it. The bottle toppled, rolled off the edge, and shattered into many pieces. I literally gasped and jumped out of my chair. His brother was distraught. He calmly got up, smiled and said it will be ok. He collected the pieces and brought them to his room. Weeks later, he came out of his room carrying the bottle. He had pieced it back together. He once again set it on that table and said it was beautiful. Thank you for bringing back those memories.
I'm a Japanese, watching this video in tears from Japan because I don't know how long Japanese civilisation will last. I envy Western countries. They make the Western civilisation together with other nations, so like-minded people beyond borders can come together at a conference like this, to save the beauty of their civilisation, which is great. The Japanese civilisation, on the other hand, is made up of only one country, Japan. There are many like-minded people here as well, for Japan's traditional morality described in Jodo Shinshu Buddhism, Bushido-code etc have things in common with Western philosophy or Christianity in my opinion, but Japan is isolated, all surrounded by 3 totalitarian regimes. I hope Japan's democracy and its tradition won't be lost. And I wish all the best to the like-minded people around the world.
I'm Filipino-Chinese. I adore and imbibe some values deeply associated with the Japanese people - thrift, minimalism, fixing broken things, peace. Integration goes beyond cultural barriers.
I am so sad for your tears. May your incredible, unique country and people be blessed forever. Let's pray together that good people of all nations will survive and fight the tide of darkness.🌱
I am an American with a deep, lifelong respect and admiration of the beautiful cultural traditions of Japan. I also see those traditions slipping away. They are put on display for tourists, but I see that the younger generations of Japanese are increasingly hesitant to learn them and to pass them on. They are lost at sea, without direction, without purpose. Even the pillars of marriage and family are set aside, seen as unimportant. After all, they must think to themselves "what use is it to bring more people into this meaningless world". We all need the transcendent. We are lost without it. I am a Christian. I want you to know that many of us pray for your nation every day.
I'm American, and because of kindness I was met with by Japanese international students, I can't help but feel worried sick when Japan's neighbors increase their aggression. I too hope Japan's democracy and tradition won't be lost. It's unique and the only country I can go to where natives speak Japanese as a first language (my second language). I know Japan isn't perfect (neither is my country; is any country perfect?) but Kintsugi represents everything beautiful I love about the Japanese I've met. We have different belief systems, and sometimes it's difficult to explain why I adore Japan the way I do to family and friends. But if I had to pick one thing, it's Kintsugi.
@@gilltrewick5219 Indeed. But lets not get too excited about this stuff on stage. We should attempt to act in our own lives, some small change towards the better ;-)
this was fantastic. We now need the artists and creatives more than ever. They have given us so much beauty over centuries. This planet would be a dark dismal place without them.
”Art is the bedrock of culture itself. It is the foundation of the process by which we unite ourselves psychologically, and come to establish productive peace with others. As it is said, ’Man shall not live by bread alone’ (Matthew 4:4). That is exactly right. We live by beauty. We live by literature. We live by art. We cannot live without some connection to the divine-and beauty is divine-because in its absence life is too short, too dismal, and too tragic.” - Jordan Peterson, Beyond Order (2021)
I find that I bridle at your choice of the overworked 'd' word especially juxtaposed with this calm and calming presentation of Beauty. Like so many words appropriated and distorted in use - 'kind/kindness' being another - it's now a weighty weaponised word of connotations including threat. It's part of the language used by those perpetrating the extreme difficulties of today. Please note I have not used the 'tr.gg...d' word to describe my response.
@@judithcressey1682 In the olden days, the d-word was much shorter, and had much less gravitas. But alas, in the meanwhile it has swollen in size, and HR-relevance. 🙏🕊
Practicing the art of Kintsugi has been one of the most healing and fulfilling things in my life. ❤ So grateful to Mako and every other speaker here for these words of hope and life!
I have journeyed with a Kintsugi dragon. Dozens of pieces, glued together with ground ceramic powder from the pieces that were to small to glue together and 24ct gold flakes. He is called Enoch and he is my gift to my childhood.
This is absolutely brilliant, to glue the broken pieces with gold to honour the shattering, but also makes it more valuable as it went through two masters. Isn’t that god with all of us? We are all broken and overcoming our faults will be what other see in heaven as the handy work of god
The depth of beauty. Doing that by standing on top of the ashes. 🙏 The work of vermilion red is wonderful, the effect is exciting, pure and life-giving. I love Japan and ARC, my god!!, what Conferences making History!!😶
he has very refined sensibilities about things i care little about. But i can appreciate that he brings something to the world i need but can't do myself. You can see that in war, even commercial and political stuff all sensibilities are blunted as we struggle through. However what saves us from that blunted state is art when we have time for it. Art is sensibility made into a media for your appreciation. I have been known to space-out on art.
Possibly the best speech of this event. Should have been the headline speech, thematically, perfect historically authentic examples of what ARC is about and should be about. This is how winning the culture war will be done - again, another metaphor but one that explains what happens as one 'sets the table at scale'. Because to set the table again, means one must have already washed the dishes. He actually states that we should win the culture war by showing honor to the history of broken things. Rather than a dismal, derogatory memory of things we project a negating hatred upon - to truly understand on a deeply human, authentic, gracious level ALL history rather than merely the polemics of the last 200 years... Rather than hide faults, to first heal them (the major challenge) and then to show the deepest and richest honor possible to the journey both before and after the healing, restoration, conflict-resolution process. How do we honor, how can we honor: crumbled & dishonest & evil things such as causes & maintains many fractures? By honoring the humanity and reality as universally as possible. As we slowly climb the ladder of things, as Petersen stated. Tauren Wells, hosting 2023 Dove Awards, closed the show with talking about working to show honor to others...
I'm so excited and happy for this wonderful happening!! For all these wonderful thinkers!! For such BEAUTY in an approach to Humanity and our collective journey ❤️ ♥️ 💕 😊 💙
“We are all survivors” I cried. It is truly a miracle we are still alive after years of Pandemic. I survived 2 covids, family deaths, abusive relationship, war. Life is a struggle still. But I still have hope. This talk gives me more hope. Thank you, sir.
I am such a Makoto Fujimura fangirl (his writing is absolutely inspirational) and you have brought me great joy by sharing this video and that he is speaking into this project. Thank you. So much.
Amongst my favourite artists are Hokusai, Hiroshige, Kunisada and the other woodblock printing masters of the 18th and 19th centuries. I have a lovely book of Van Gogh's collection of Japanese prints in the same tradition as these great masters. I love that style of Japanese art, so delicate, beautiful and taking hours of work by the artists. This was a lovely speech by Makoto Fujimura, so uplifting and positive. Good to hear. Thank you to the ARC for uploading the speeches to You Tube in order to reach a wider audience. Much appreciated. Art, music and literature are so important for all of us. I'm a dedicated amateur jazz pianist and I also do artwork which I upload to two different print-on-demand websites. I've hardly sold a thing in these seas of creativity, but Dr Peterson's outstanding 12 Rules For Life books "Antidote to Chaos" and "Beyond Order" have made me realise that all creativity is valid and important, even if we don't earn money from it, indeed he pointed out that the vast majority of creative people do not earn much, if anything, from their music, art or writing. I've tried all three, but the music and art are keeping me going for now. It is an ugly world at times, especially now. The British-Israeli child prodigy composer Alma Deutscher, who is now 18 and living with her parents and sister in Vienna, was once asked why, in an often ugly and violent world, her wonderful music did not reflect this. Aged about 12 at the time, Alma's answer showed her genius: she replied that if the world really was so ugly and violent then why would she wish to add to that by composing ugly, atonal music. Of course some have dared to criticise the young genius because her music draws upon and is inspired by the great classical composers of the 18th and 19th centuries and is packed with lovely melodies and superb orchestration. Alma started composing at age four, and this year she became the youngest person to conduct a premiere of their own opera since....Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Quite a club to be in, isn't it. The updated version of Cinderella, which Alma had originally composed around the age of 10, is on You Tube and is superb. Wonderful melodies and orchestration and a great re-working of the Cinderella story, Alma did all the libretto herself too. Well worth checking out if you are not familiar with Alma and her music. We do need to seek out beauty, be it in music, art, literature, architecture or nature.
An insight for us to ponder..what has gone before can either change for the better or have a longer lasting effect of bitterness…this podcast beautifully delivered by Makoto Fujimura ..❤
I hope to be on this stage one day. And I hope to talk to people at ARC one day too. It seems like a more wholistic version of TED. Keep up the good work!
As a survivor of brokenness and its result, I was so moved by this. Faith truly is the thing most needed to take steps into the unknown future despite the pain of the past. Thank you again for sharing this.
Thanks you, Makoto, for your brilliant and passionate presentation, an invitation to truth seen through the singular prism of art. I am enriched...and challenged.
Honoring your responsibility is the answer to all your problem that we face in everyday life and worth living to do so, to take responsible for everything that you created responsible enough to help others in need, responsible enough to take good care of your self, your family, your job and YOU to have meaningful life in respectful way of living
As a song writer who has experienced trauma, I thought kintsugi was the appropriate subject to talk about, so wrote Gold in the Cracks in 2 sittings, I'm a fav among my originals to this day. 💖 Kintsugi exemplifies the human.
This is a wonderful speech, a lesson, a paradigm shift, a comfort blanket - its symbolism giving us easy access to the wonders of newness through enough 'beholding' of anything, event or object with our inner self, our deepest intuition, and through our experiences that break us, giving us opportunity for deep learning at the end of which we find we are mended beautifully and with golden thankfulness added. I love this talk.
Thank you for this....Journey from lament to glory through grace.... So beautiful. This is signature of the evolving truly human dimension in us, which in my view is driven by the pursuit of truth and beauty in life, giving birth to qualitatively new level of sensitivities. Responsibly, as an emotional structure can only arise out of such human sensitivities.
“…in order to be able to move from lament to glory, we have to behold…it is a grace journey…” “Faith (art) is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen.”
Make good works, not good intentions. Personal responsibility to each other is primary. I pray God helps your cause to make the future a freer and better place for has many has possible. Getting people to reason together and let the free market return.
I get the main point (I think...) - there's no doubt that the Lotus flower blossoms on a layer of filth, but being willing or even able to repair and transform the continuous cultural and political damage that the autonomous totalitarianism leaves in its wake seems like an insurmountable endeavour... I do, however, see the function and value of ART to regain faith in general - that makes a lot of sense to me. ARC is a much needed coalition. Thanks to everyone involved.
Absolutely WONDERFUL in every way ! God bless you for such an inspiration! "Faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things unseen " 😂
We don't need more alliances, we just need to accept equality and respect differences and opinions, for those very differences, help us overcome every different challenge ahead of us. Understand we need all of us, to get there. The right...and the wrong. We need you all!
@pathologicalphilosophy1959 I love your comment....arc is not only a shield but a spear. 😊. I was along that wavelength as I listen to his powerful personalised illustrations. Priceless reasoning void of any positions but clear enough to provoke self examination....I hope. Amazing
"Our journey from lament to glory is through Grace."
This is possibily the most exciting line up of speakers ever assembled. God bless this movement.

I get the main point (I think...) - there's no doubt that the Lotus flower blossoms on a layer of filth, but being willing or even able to repair and transform the continuous cultural and political damage that the autonomous totalitarianism leaves in its wake seems like an insurmountable endeavour... I do, however, see the function and value of ART to regain faith in general - that makes a lot of sense to me. ARC is a much needed coalition. Thanks to everyone involved.
What a remarkable parable…, restoring broken vessels. So close to my heart.
Absolutely WONDERFUL in every way ! God bless you for such an inspiration! "Faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things unseen " 😂
We don't need more alliances, we just need to accept equality and respect differences and opinions, for those very differences, help us overcome every different challenge ahead of us. Understand we need all of us, to get there. The right...and the wrong. We need you all!
Brilliant
@pathologicalphilosophy1959 I love your comment....arc is not only a shield but a spear. 😊. I was along that wavelength as I listen to his powerful personalised illustrations. Priceless reasoning void of any positions but clear enough to provoke self examination....I hope. Amazing
