“Shu-Ha-Ri”
Mr. Daisuke SUGIYAMA (Japanese, 26 years old)
(the original text is Japanese)

Compared to fifty years ago, Japan has become more closely linked to other countries as Japanese corporations have entered overseas markets. To live together in a borderless international community, the people of each country must have a sense of belonging to their own nation and have a clear sense of national identity. The concept that “culture = brand” at the national level differentiates one country from the other nations in the global community and strengthens that country’s competitive spirit. A brand’s uniqueness is amorphous. This means that the value of a brand is created through the image people have of that brand in their minds.
In the case of Japan, I think that the “image people have of a brand in their minds” is an aspect of the Japanese philosophy of “Shu-Ha-Ri” which I came to know from kendo, I started during my thirteen-year stay in New York. In brief, “Shu-Ha-Ri” stands for the three stages of skill mastery: the Chinese character Shu , Ha , and Ri . In “Shu,” you follow the examples given and master them completely. At the “Ha” level, you add your own creative touch to what you have learned and make the techniques and skills your own. At the stage of “Ri, you take what you have learned even further. In Japan, “Shu” is the heart of knowledge transmission, which is the basis for the creation of culture, in other words, the origin of education. Through “Shu” that has been passed down over the generations through intentional effort, the basics have been valued and the traditional mindset and atmosphere of Japan have been valued. “Brand Japan” which is Japan’s pride and glory is precisely this “Shu” from “Shu-Ha-Ri.”
