Inhaltsangabe

This book demonstrates how Japanese art aesthetically permeates and comments on the changes and uncertainties of existence in a variety of ways. It deals with weathered wooden sculptures, Hokusai's "Great Wave" as well as tea ceramics, some of which have been skilfully repaired with gold lacquer.
