And why does it speak so clearly to so many people all over the world? The Japanese sensibility often possesses an intuitive, emotional appeal, whether it's a silk kimono, a carefully raked garden path, an architectural marvel, a teapot, or a contemporary work of art. This allure has come to permeate the entire culture of Japan; it is manifest in the most mundane utensil and snack food packaging, as well as in Japanese architecture, and fine art. In this book, Patricia J. Graham explains how this aesthetic based in fine craftsmanship and simplicity developed.
