“I discovered the idea of “MU” while traveling from Tokyo to Abushiri. Travelling means leaving things behind and with just a few clothes and a toothbrush you create both physical and mental space. This space which we often experience during holidays-instantly sparks inspiration. “MU” represents this: the emptiness that is ready to be filled. It’s like the simple act of rolling up your futon after waking allows the morning light to fill the room. I apply “MU” not only in the creative process but also by allowing a sense of emptiness within my work itself. It brings you closer to the essence- to the emotion behind the moment of creation.”

Beauty is everywhere in Japan and I understand from experiencing it myself why Paul is pulled back to explore it more and more. It has become a place of pilgrimage for him. A place which inspires him and ignites his creativity.
