Hi, Joshua! Great video! I wonder on which pillar would you place origami, calligraphy and Ikebana? (or Ekebana?) I just love to play with washi papers, ink and flowers. I've studied minimalism art during my study in interior design (was a long time ago...). Found Bauhaus a little bit "cold". Find japanese aesthetics warmer and more natural. "Domo" for your answer...greetings from Québec!👋🀄💛

Ooooh, that's a difficult one. I don't think any particular one would fit. I can see wabi-sabi fitting ikebana nicely in autumn, but Ma plays a very important role in the space between the flowers, branches etc. I think Ma is also really important for calligraphy as well. I also love playing with washi Japanese paper.

Minimalism as a modern concept comes from the Bauhaus movement in Geneva. Traditionally though; Japan used to practice minimalism in the form of acetism and Zen Buddhism. This is a far cry from modern Japan which is the very antithisis of any form of minimalsim. Current day Japan is all about hyper capitalism/consumerism. Japanese minimalism is a modern day myth perpetuated and exclusive to Japan's old money, super elite who build these minimalist structures as architectural follies. No one actually lives like this in reality.

To say Japanese minimalism is a modern day myth is a bit extreme. It depends on what you choose to look at. Japan can be a place of polar opposites, with busy streets in Shinjuku and quiet Shinto shrines nestled into suburban neighborhoods. Japanese minimalism is everywhere in design and fashion. Bogler was a leager in ceramic design at the Bauhaus and he referenced having Japanese role models in his designs. Even today Japanese craftsmanship, pottery, calligraphy...all usually still have some minimalist influence. Minimalism in taste and architecture flourished with the aristocracy, so yes there is a relationship to elitism. But those values have now spread throughout society. Yes, people do still live like that. In the countryside most homes have minimalist large tatami rooms with a view of the garden, a rice field, or the mountains. This may not be the same space as a 30 floor condo in downtown Osaka, but they do exist. Our family enjoys this space when we are in Fukui.

I found out that most of the “Japanese” things aren’t originally Japanese.

@ShizenStyle 21 день назад

I would say that it's even part of Japanese culture to borrow from other cultures and then transform it to the needs and aesthetics of Japanese taste. Ramen, traditional Japanese music, some Japanese garden styles etc.

@@ShizenStyle ⁠Ya I get it. I do think it’s other nations too. The Chinese for one. Also the US. People think we invented the personal automobile, but it was invented in Germany. In my view it’s not necessarily a crime. And ya it’s virtually unstoppable.
