Abstract

The essence of Japanese art lies in the peculiar character of the people and the influence of "life-affirming" Zen. Painting, poetry, and even the tea ceremony are "ways" to the Absolute Nothing. The aesthetic qualities of Japanese art are "limitlessness," "unfinishedness," and naturalness.--A. B.
