3. ARTS AND CRAFTS OF JAPAN:
A Glimpse from the past
Japan, known as the “Land of
the Rising Sun”, shows a remarkable
collection of beautiful craftsmanship and
artworks. We are going to delve into the
deep blue seas of history and look at the
most common artworks and craftsmanship
that Japan has to offer:
The paintings located in Japan depict
scenes we see in our daily lives, like
strolling, walking, hiking or voyaging
through the open seas. They also
depict narrative scenes crowded with
figures and specific details.
HELP! My head is stuck in the toilet!
Woodblock printing is the art of
transferring an image from one
medium to another using a
woodblock. Japanadapted this
method during the Edo period, in
which the most common theme of
woodblock printing in Japan depicts
scenes of everyday life.
Ukiyo-e is a form of Japanese art
that was best known and most
popular style, especially during the
Edo Period. It means “pictures of
the floating world”. They mostly
depict beautiful women, nature,
sumo wrestling and et cetera.

4. ARTS AND CRAFTS OF JAPAN:
A Glimpse from the past
When masks and face paint come in
our way, Japan has their own
collection of the latter. Kesho or
Kabuki Makeup is the interpretation
of the actor’s role through the
medium of the facial features, or in
other words, is also another way of
face painting.
Paper. There is never a dull moment
when paper smacks us in the face.
Yet, coming back to the topic,
Origami is the traditional japanese
art of paper-folding, originating
from the words “Ori” (folding) and
“Kami” (paper).
Solve me Arzel and
cubers alike! I know
you want it! You really,
really want it! XD
Most Origami masterpieces depict
nature and realistic animals and
things, geometry (without proving)
and much more. It had been in a
significant popularity during the
Heian Period of Year 794 to 1185.
Knot tying really ties me up, as in
really frustrates us all (hard to untie
this thing!), but anyways, knot tying
in Japan is called Hanamusubi. It
emphasizes on braids and focuses
on individual knots.

5. CULTURAL ASPECTS IN JAPAN:
Appreciate our origin
Japan’s culture is closely and (in) directly connected to the
arts and crafts made by the country. The culture of Japan
cannot be discussed to the smallest detail possible.
Yet, one thing is for certain...
Why do Japanese (and
apparently, East asian
countries) have their temples
constructed with sweeping
rooves?
This is because they beleive that it will
protect them from the elements of
water, wind and fire. Buddhists also
believe that it also helps in warding off
bad spirits, which were deemed to be
straight lines.
