Japanese aesthetics: Mono-ai, secluded nature, wabi-sabi

Starting with Mono-Ai, unique concepts that have never been involved in Western aesthetics have been born in the history of Japanese aesthetics. Mono-Ai explores the beauty and reality of the moment; Yuxuan introduces darkness and pursues the hidden truth; Wabi-sabi is the ultimate aesthetic speculation to feel the infinite in nothing. Japanese aesthetics, which combines Shinto, Lao-Zhuang, and Buddhist ideas, has developed a rich meaning and spirit of beauty in art forms such as Monogatari, Waka, Noh drama, and tea ceremony, and has inspired countless artistic creations today.
