Concept

It means "(metabolism)" and describes the way things change.
The surface of the object is burned, removing traces of the past, old paint, and dirt, and creating a new skin.
It is a process that overlaps with the metabolism of living organisms, taking in what is needed from the outside/inside and expelling what is not needed.
Fire is both a blessing and a threat, and by utilizing these properties, we can bring out the beauty of things.
There are many Japanese customs that involve the use of fire for purification and rebirth (rebirth).
For example, there are events such as "Dondoyaki" where New Year decorations are burned and prayers are made for happiness in the new year (the smoke is used to see off the New Year deity), "Ashiyaki" is the act of preparing the soil for new shoots to grow, and "cremation" is also an event in which the soul is released from the body by burning it and is said to be reborn as a new being.
By burning things, we too circulate them in accordance with this process of "respecting the stories of the past while creating new value."
