Humanity and Nature in Japan Exploring the Arts from Antiquity to the Present

For more than 10,000 years, from primeval times to the present, the arts of Japan have been the expression of respect for the diversity of nature and the landscape. “Art” is inspired by the belief that each and every thing is endowed with a vital spirit and by a feeling of reverence for the beauty manifested therein. Traditions cherishing the nature and the climate of the land have been passed down in all aspects of daily life and art.

We can see that embrace of nature’s beauty in the arts throughout the ages: decorated pottery of ancient Jōmon times, carved or cast Buddhist statuary, paintings on folding screens or in ukiyo-e prints, designs on lacquerware and other traditional crafts, kimono and textiles, noh and kabuki performing arts, modern arts of anime and manga. Art embodies the way nature resonates within and imprints itself upon the human heart. Art displays the ways people treasure that sense of beauty.

“Humanity and Nature in Japan” is the overarching theme for the “Japan Cultural Expo” series of programs introducing the many dimensions of the culture and arts of Japan from the prehistorical Jōmon age to the present:
