In the words of Zeami (1363-1443), the creator of Japan's traditional Noh theatre, the most famous saying is "Shoshin wasururu bekarazu" ("Do not forget your beginner's spirit"). In the context of our "Face Matrix" philosophy, this phrase addresses aging, emphasizing the importance of remembering how you confronted and overcame your initial facial insecurities.
During Zeami period, the spirit of "Shoshin wasururu bekarazu" led to Noh competitions known as "tachiai," where performers refined their skills through comparison and competition. Similarly, the Face Matrix Tournament provides a platform for technicians to compete and pursue excellence in their craft as Noh did.
