THE TRADITION CONUNDRUM

“It is meaningless just to inherit tradition of [Japanese Pottery], unless you add to your own ideas….. but if you overdo yourself, you might ruin the traditions. The point is to make the best use of the old methods and ideas.”
Arakawa Toyozo

“Tradition does not mean the living are dead, but the dead are living.”
Gilbert K. Chesterton
