Along with the evolution of societies, rising unpredictability, mobility and dependence on technologies, folk spirituality evolves into lived spirituality: one which may appear unorthodox, but relies on direct experience and on the presence of the divine element in common surroundings. On his Japanese journey, Łukasz Rusznica chose spirits and other supernatural creatures as his guides. He asked them for help in mapping a new territory, and appears to have received an additional gift: a discovery about oneself and one's own background, which seems to be the actual journey here, a more significant one than conquering purely physical distance. — Olga Drenda
