​Culture & craft

One of the great pleasures to any visit to Japan is enjoying the rich and beautiful world of its culture and arts. Historically, Japan went through several periods of opening and closing its borders to foreign trade. The Japanese adopted new ideas from countries like China, and they would transform these concepts during isolationist periods. 

When exploring traditional Japanese aesthetics, one will find that a significant theme is the well-known love and respect for nature. From poetry to architecture, it shows in most aspects of Japanese culture and is embedded in the way of life. Although traditional artists of all genres have looked to nature for inspiration when pursuing aesthetic perfection.
