Mt. Fuji Built from Precedents
I have been thinking about a work built entirely from hanko marks.
Not random stamping, but a structured form: a mountain shaped by accumulated approvals.
A Symbol Formed by Compliance
In Japan, a hanko is less a signature and more a quiet signal that says, I followed the precedent.
This habit still shapes administrative and corporate systems.
Stack those silent approvals and a mountain appears.
A form created not by will but by accumulated compliance, echoing Fuji, the national symbol.
Super Dekoboko and the Flattening Force
Super Dekoboko is the tension between unevenness and the forces that flatten it.
A mountain built from precedents is one of the clearest metaphors for that tension.
This idea may or may not become a work, but the structure feels worth keeping as a note.
