The Spirit of Japan

  • Anna Kцитирует5 лет назад
    Modernism is not in the dress of the Europeans; or in the hideous structures, where their children are interned when they take their lessons; or in the square houses with flat straight wall-surfaces, pierced with parallel lines of windows, where these people are caged in their lifetime; certainly modernism is not in their ladies' bonnets, carrying on them loads of incongruities. These are not modern, but merely European. True modernism is freedom of mind, not slavery of taste.

    The genius of Japan has given you the vision of beauty in nature and the power of realising it in your life.
  • Diego Ivánцитирует6 лет назад
    Your instincts have become true, your senses keen, and your hands have acquired natural skill.
  • Diego Ivánцитирует6 лет назад
    mere knowledge of things can be had in a short enough time, but their spirit can only be acquired by centuries of training and self-control.
  • Diego Ivánцитирует6 лет назад
    I felt that I saw something which was at the root of Japan's greatness.
  • Diego Ivánцитирует6 лет назад
    is a truism to say that shadows accompany light.
  • Diego Ivánцитирует6 лет назад
    only shows, that I am looking on the picture side of the canvas, and they on the blank side.
  • Vanshika Sarafцитирует6 лет назад
    True modernism is freedom of mind, not slavery of taste.
