Short commentary

Fūdo is the unseen force that makes a world live together. Separate beings remain within the same wind.

Text by Byun Joung Hoon

A single thatched house sits low in the middle of the field. The tree leans to one side, and a flock of crows circles, filling the sky. On the wooden porch, a person; in the yard, a horse. They all seem to be apart, yet they are within the same wind. The wind cannot be seen. But the house, the tree, and the birds already know its direction. Fūdo is the way an unseen force lets a whole world live together.

To face the same wind even while living apart. That is what it means to live within the same Fūdo.
