Thank you for the sharing, I had visited the exhibition in Kyoto yesterday and was very amazed as always but the beauty of Those artworks and especially the name and inspiration taken from the 4 seasons of Japan. I can now understand why.
ReplyDeleteI' m glad if this information helped you! Nature has served as a model for art in Japan. Tea master Sen no Rikyu told his disciples to arrange the flowers as if they were in the fields. Japanese tea ceremony is based on Zen teachings. Many of this year's winners selected nature as a motif. One of them said: "I can never develop my unique style by copying another big artist. So I decided to take nature as a model. It's not copying anyone."
