Understanding Japanese Aesthetics: Defining Beauty in Art, Architecture, Gardens, and More

*Online program

Join us for a direct experience of Japanese aesthetics, as seen in art, architecture, and gardens. From the refined rusticity of wabi-sabi to suggestive mystery, from freedom and spontaneity in artistic expression to elegance and courtliness in manner and ritual, the Japan Society of Northern California and special guest Steve Beimel will explore these concepts as well as framing, transition, color, and general presentation that has developed over 1000 years. Beimel and his team at JapanCraft21 are passionately committed to revitalizing traditional Japanese arts. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the foundations of Japanese beauty — reserve your spot today!
