Philosopher / Writer

Traveled to Kyoto, Japan, to film the documentary “The Path of Philosophy” (the director of the documentary)

Following in the footsteps of Japanese philosopher Kitarō Nishida, the documentary explores the intersections of Japanese aesthetics, art, and Zen philosophy. It focuses on the unique pursuit of life’s impermanence, the implicit artistic conception, and the simple beauty of imperfection. It also unveils the hidden histories behind Kyoto’s temples, teahouses, and bookstores, highlighting the city as a living embodiment of wabi-sabi and a testament to the global influence of Japanese aesthetics.
