JAPANESE COMPACT CULTURE: STACK
“Stacking objects of the same shape makes use of vertical space, saving valuable horizontal space. Stacking is practical, but the action of piling or unpiling objects also gives them the added beauty of movement. Stacking objects integrates them into a three-dimensional, sculptural form; unstacking them revives the individuality and autonomy of each unit. For practical use, the three-dimensional form must be dismantled and by the manipulation of human hands, static beauty is made dynamic. A pile of graduated saké cups is an elegant form, but its function is dormant. Only when saké is poured into the upper. most cup and served, then into the next, and so on, do the parts come into their own as they are separated from the integrated form and scattered in many directions.”
Clipped from a fascinating book entitled; "The Compact culture : the ethos of Japanese life" by Yoshida Mitsukuni, Tanaka Ikko and Sesoko Tsune. Published 1982
