Japanese art theory crossing borders:
from Jomon pottery to decorated trucks
In Japan, there is a lineage of beauty that is the opposite of "Wabi-Sabi-Zen", which gives a static, austere, simple and minimalistic impression, and is incompatible with Otaku culture. Its genealogy, which is dynamic, stylish, brilliant and full of rebellious spirit, is the "Furyu" of the Heian period, the "Basara" of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the "Kabukimono" of the end of the Warring States period, and the "Kyokaku" of the Edo period. It has been handed down from time to time.
Successor of Izumo no Okuni
The aesthetic sense created a genealogy of art that favors gorgeous and gaudy "kazari", which is set in the extraordinary festive "halle", which is the opposite of the everyday "beauty of use".
This non-standard art, such as Jomon pottery, Gold-blue barrier painting, Kawari kabuto, Oribe tea bowl, and Ukiyo-e, has been handed down to the culture of modern Dekotora and Koakuma ageha.
