Jo-ha-kyū (序破急) 

It essentially suggests that all actions or efforts should:
- begin slowly
- speed up
- then end swiftly

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building /faust, more here: /july, web: july.rocks

It also suggests implicitly that "actions" should be discrete, and not continuously defined. Actions that you take, not pieces that bleed into each other. There's a bit of courage to choose your aesthetics required to recognize and articulate the discrete in the continuous, often - so that is where your self, as the lens comes in to suggest the "action"

hence this applies well to the arts, it applies well to creating things, acting in the moment of creation

feels like elements of Jo-ha-kyū may have inspired Kanban

artist • philomath • developer • optimist • 
/gen-art • /consciousness • /ink • /schematics

Also the fact Taiichi Ohno got the idea for Kanban partially by being inspired by American Supermarkets in the 1950s and how they were run (on his US visit) which were a modern marvel in post war Japan - which became the pull based inventory system iirc

I learnt this concept in my Japanese music class
Shot-out to my teacher 🗣️

very important concept in martial arts or any other form of combat - assess situation & setup slowly, begin action with increasing force and conviction, and end with complete finality (brutality)
