The search for harmony between all components of life is perhaps what is most characteristic of all areas of Japanese art.
The desire to find those brightest strokes that best emphasize the individuality of the depicted object, regardless of the method of presenting information, makes the art of this country relevant always and everywhere. It must be said that many types of art came into everyday life of the world from Japan: origami – the art of folding various figures from paper – is becoming increasingly popular.
The art of making bouquets – ikebana – has long been firmly established in the arsenal of all professional florists in the world, and the creation (precisely creation, you can’t say otherwise) of bonsai, that is, growing dwarf trees and combining them into compositions, is becoming increasingly popular among residents of modern cramped megacities. 30 km from Tokyo, in the suburbs of Omiya, there is a bonsai park. Its collection of dwarf trees is unique. Here you can see bonsai from 10 cm to 120 cm in height, all of them are equally graceful, despite their completely different appearance. It is in this park that it becomes clear that bonsai is, first of all, an art, and only then a technology.
