Omakase
Literally, “I leave it up to you.”
In a Japanese sushi restaurant, omakase allows the chef to curate the meal.
It’s a way of saying, “You are the expert. Please delight me. I don’t need to control what’s about to happen. I trust your judgement.”
What happens when we liberate an artist in this way?
And what does it mean for us … when our own creative judgement is given that level of trust?
It could be that we have this kind of opportunity more often than we realize.
