Thank you for your insight.
I think Japanese...Pete,<br />Thank you for your insight.<br />I think Japanese are often absorptive and passive in both senses of good and bad, and such character may tune their culture easily into nature and its transition. They grieve over frequent earthquakes while never forget to appreciate cherry blossoms, as I see recently.<br /><br />Stephanie,<br />Thank you for your kind comment. I respect people overseas having more interest in "wabi-sabi" concept rather than Japanese nowadays.<br />Interestingly, Japonism includes "wabi-sabi" is rather an exotic term for Japanese. Japanese often reconfirm their characteristic culture by listening to reputation from overseas. Again, it shows Japanese easy absorption. They are willing to accept and admire culture or ideology which was recognized mainly by Westerners.Snailcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03990278587489338091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10443079920501564.post-16382156764246502011-04-12T10:20:55.420+09:002011-04-12T10:20:55.420+09:00i've enjoyed reading the comments almost as mu...i've enjoyed reading the comments almost as much as seeing the new artwork. you write so sensitively. i am a great admirer of the wabi-sabi concept, and i deeply appreciate seasonal changes. i enjoy when an artist calls attention to the forces of nature in such a lovely way.Stephanie Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13208066564509737843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10443079920501564.post-7342542858620196482011-04-12T08:07:40.348+09:002011-04-12T08:07:40.348+09:00I think the Japanese culture is

"wabi sabi" is basically aesthetic feeling of simplicity and modesty, but overabundance is also appreciated here. This directly‐opposed ideas is accepted as different styles of art in Japan from long time ago. On the other hand, caring a lot about seasonal beauty seems to have been common and stable feeling among many Japanese. I might have been influenced by these people and culture constantly bring up the topic about seasonal beauty.
