行雲流水 ― 祈りと自然体のかたち

 

「行雲流水」とは、禅の心を表す言葉。

空を行く雲、流れる水は常に同じ状態で留まることがないという自然の真理を説いています。

大自然はまさにこの世の無常を雄弁に語り、時は有限であることを私達に教えてくれます。

雲は時に激しい雨や雪などを降らし、様々な形に移り変わります。水も流れが穏やかな時もあれば、凄まじい鉄砲水になる事もあります。また水は入れ物によって姿を変えます。雲や水は縛られる事も、留まる事もありません。

 

人の人生も穏やかで楽しい日々もあれば、悲しく、苦しい時もあります。生きる事は喜怒哀楽の繰り返しです。本作では、長時間露光によって描かれた海流、露光の間、動かない雲を通じて、執着を離れた自然体で存在する個の姿を表現しています。

作品は日本の伝統素材である漆喰を用いたシートにプリントされ、樹齢1000年を超える屋久杉の額縁で包むことで、視覚と香りの両面から「行雲流水」の精神と歴史を伝えます。額縁に使用した屋久杉についた傷は、屋久杉の長い生きた歴史を表す物なので、残しながら調和を意識して額縁にしました。

​Kōun Ryūsui – A Form of Prayer and Natural Being 

​

Kōun Ryūsui ("Flowing Clouds, Flowing Water") is a phrase that embodies the spirit of Zen. It expresses a fundamental truth of nature: clouds drifting through the sky and water flowing in streams are never in the same state—they are always in motion. Nature eloquently speaks of impermanence, reminding us that time is finite. Clouds sometimes bring intense rain or snow, constantly shifting in form. Water can flow gently or turn into a violent torrent. It also takes the shape of whatever vessel holds it. Like clouds and water, they cannot be bound or stopped.

 

Just like human life, there are calm and joyful days, as well as times of sorrow and hardship. To live is to experience a cycle of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure. In this work, the figure of an individual existing in a natural state—free from attachment—is expressed through long-exposure images of ocean currents and clouds that remain still during the exposure.

 

Printed on sheets made from shikkui, a traditional Japanese plaster, and framed with over-1,000-years-old Yakusugi cedar, the piece conveys the spirit and history of Kōun Ryūsui through both sight and scent.The scratches on the Yakusugi (cedar from Yakushima) used for the frame were intentionally preserved, as they represent the tree’s long and living history. The frame was crafted with a sense of harmony, embracing these marks as part of its natural character.
