【 深淵 】ー 利休の漆黒、内なる宇宙への没入 ー
憧れも追従も焼き切るために、利休は降臨しました。
求めたのは大陸の青でも瀬戸の灰でもない、自らを映す漆黒。
命がけの「瀬戸黒」は、模倣の歴史を終わらせる断絶の儀式でした。

[The Abyss] — Rikyū's Absolute Black, Immersing into the Inner Universe —
Rikyū descended to burn away all yearning and imitation.
What he sought was neither the celestial blue of the continent nor the ash gray of Seto, but a pitch-black stillness that reflected his own soul.
The life-or-death creation of "Seto-guro" (Seto Black) was a ritual of severance, bringing a definitive end to the history of imitation.
