WAEN – Japanese art and beauty

The Japanese people have a long tradition of finding inspiration in nature for Japanese art, architecture and even in their food culture.

Thus, the changing of nature during the four seasons of Japan has an especially profound impact the Japanese people. Whether it be the food they eat or the flowers they choose for their arrangements, these choices are decided by the season. This deep awareness of the four seasons makes up an important facet of the Japanese sense of beauty.
