Isizathu sokwehlukile kwayo ukuthi impucuko yaseJapane inesidingo sayo sokwenza konke okungcono kakhulu emhlabeni "wangaphandle" nakuzo zonke lokhu ukukhombisa umhlaba okuthile okusha ngezinga elihlukile lezinga eliphezulu. Ukwakhiwa kweJapan kwathonywa isiko laseChina lasendulo, kamuva - ngaphansi kwethonya lobuchwepheshe beYurophu naseMelika. Futhi yimuphi umphumela? Amandla amakhulu kakhulu asezimboni anelifa lamasiko elicebile, izincwadi zangempela, izinkondlo, ukudweba, ukuqhubeka nokumangaza umhlaba ngempumelelo emotweni, kwezobuchwepheshe bekhompuyutha kanye ne-robotics. Kodwa into emangalisa kakhulu ukuthi yonke into yaseJapane, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi iyasendulo, ihambisana ngokuvumelana nendawo yokuphila kwanamuhla, ekubukeni kwamagagasi nasezindaweni zokuhlala zanamuhla.
Ingaphakathi lamafulethi libhekene nokulula, ubuhle, ngesikhathi esifanayo ukusebenza okusebenzayo. I-aesthetics ye-simplicity, ubuhle nobuchwepheshe ihlukaniswa isitayela saseJapane. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lezi zixazululo ezingavumelani nemisebenzi evamile.
Indlu yaseJapane yendabuko ayinaso izindonga. Izwe elizungezile liyandiswa ngokwemvelo yendawo yangaphakathi. Endlini yaseJapan ayikho amakamelo, kukhona "izingxenye zokusebenza" (njengezomsindo zanamuhla!). Izindawo zokuhlala zihlukaniswe ngamakhethini, izikrini, izingxenye, ukungafani emazingeni aphansi. Isikhala sefulethi ngesitayela saseJapane silula futhi siyi-airy. Okuhle kakhulu kulabo abathanda ukuhlukahluka: ukuhamba kwezihlukaniso, isikrini sivumela okungenani nsuku zonke ukuvuselela ingaphakathi.
Izimiso zomhlaba zonke ze-aesthetics yaseJapane zihlanganisa "ukusika" konke okungadingekile. Isisekelo sendawo yangaphakathi yefulethini ngesitayela saseJapane asiyize. Ukungabi nesikhala esigcizelela ubuhle bezinto ezimbalwa ezakha ingaphakathi lekhaya ngesiJapane.
I-Minimalism yisitayela sezulu laseJapane. Izindlela zokuzicabangela ezilula zibonisa ukuba khona kwezinto ezidingekayo zefenisha nokuhlobisa kuphela. I-home ware iyatholakala kuzigqoko zokugqoka ezakhelwe ngaphakathi.
Isici sendabuko sezingaphakathi isitayela saseJapane yisisindo odongeni. Ibeka ukuthi yini engakwazi ukuhlobisa ingaphakathi (i-vase of flowers, isifanekiso, i-casket), noma into eyithandekayo kumnikazi (incwadi, isithombe).
Ezingaphakathi kwendlu yonke into kufanele ibe yinto enhle futhi enhle. Ubuhle ngesiJapan bufana nomqondo ohlukile. Into ngayinye, konke kufanele kube nobuntu obuhlukile, obuhlukile. Futhi incazelo eyimfihlakalo yobuhle bento yonke iqondakala kuphela kubaphathi bayo.
Enye yezimiso eziyisisekelo zesitayela saseJapane kuvumelana nemvelo. "Ukusikeka" okulula, ubuhle bemvelo, kugcizelela ukuthungwa kwemvelo kwempahla nezakhi zokuhlobisa kuzo zonke izibonakaliso ze-aesthetics yaseJapane, ifilosofi yendlu yaseJapane. Ingaphakathi layo lithatha imibala ethule, efudumele. Zonke izinto zemvelo: izinkuni, izitini ezingalingani, utshani, iphepha lelayisi, isihlahla.
Ukukhanyisa kuyingxenye ebalulekile yokwakhiwa kwangaphakathi. Ukukhanya okuncane okusabalalisa kufanele "kukhanyise" izakhi ezimbalwa zaphakathi, kugcizelele okuyingqayizivele nokubaluleka kwesifundo ngasinye.
Umkhathi wendlu yaseJapane unethonya lokunciphisa izakhamuzi zalo kanye nezivakashi. Isikhala sendawo yaseJapane indawo yokuzindla, ukuphumula emisebenzini nezinkinga.
Ukuhlala phakathi kweJapan kungaphakathi kuzungezwe umoya nokukhanya. Uzungezwe ubuhle, uyazi ukuthi angathola kanjani futhi abone okuhle emehlweni ajwayelekile kakhulu. Uvikelekile kusukela emaphandleni ezwe elingaphandle. Uhlakaniphile futhi ujabulela ukuphila.
