Ideals Of The East

Ideals Of The East

Asia is one. 

... ...

Any history of Japanese art-ideals is, then, almost an impossibility, as long as the western world remains so unaware of varied environment and inter-related social phenomena into which that art is set, as it were a jewel. Definition is limitation. The beauty of a cloud or a flower lies in its unconscious unfolding of itself, and the silent eloquence of the masterpieces of each epoch must tell their story better than any epitome of necessary half-truths. My poor attempts are merely an indication, not a narrative.
