《日本生活的艺术》经典观后感有感
《日本生活的艺术》是一部由Ben Harding执导，James Fox主演的一部紀錄片 Documentary类型的电影，特精心从网络上整理的一些观众的观后感，希望对大家能有帮助。
●拍得真的很美，阐述的主题也很有意思，让我对霓虹有了更大的兴趣～～赞。
●用英式的理智解析日本的精致，难免带有西方看东方一贯的武断和猎奇，这里的猎奇中还夹杂着倾慕。总之在片中可以看到优雅如常的日本，同时又犀利得“四两拨千斤”之势。
●放假之初在油管上看的，把持不住地喜欢。
●日剧日影看得不少，日本的朋友、同事从大一开始就没有断过，日本的产品从抹茶粉、水笔用到了每天开的小车车，撒钱的爱豆更是写满很多行，然而并没有试过从一个西方的角度去看世界。讲得不深，但比我自己看到的全。
●主持人好帅
●有的地方…太吹了…但总体…还行…Dr.Fox总是无意识卖萌…
《日本生活的艺术》观后感(一)：日本生活的艺术：自然篇
《日本生活的艺术》是BBC最新出炉的介绍日本文化的精华片，因为才出来不到一周还没有中文字幕，英语学渣的我囫囵吞枣地追完第一季便写概要推送给大家！一点点截图码字，如见语无伦次还请多多包涵~鉴于篇幅较长，分三次推送，分别为自然篇、城市篇、家居篇。
个人感觉日本艺术中的很多“禅意”和“情感”只可意会不可言传，当然片子里讲的非常通俗易懂。总之还是希望在理解文化的基础上欣赏，所有艺术都是相通的嘛。就比如下面要推的BGM~

日本艺术对西方无论在美术还是音乐方面都有很大影响，最为人熟知的便是浮世绘对西方印象派画家德加、马奈、梵高、高更的启发，其中尤以日本画家葛饰北斋的影响最大，据说他的《富岳三十六景》中的《神奈川冲浪里》海浪旋涡画法就被借鉴到梵高的《星空》中。下面这张“合体”是不是很和谐呢？
更令人惊讶的是，据说德彪西也因受到《神奈川冲浪里》的启发而创作了交响诗《海》（La mer，嗯，就是顶级护肤品牌“海蓝之谜”那个词）。话说德彪西真的很喜欢从绘画中寻找灵感，还记得公众号之前介绍法国洛可可艺术时有提到德彪西曾在华托的画作《舟发西苔岛》前驻足良久后谱下了《快乐岛》 （L'lsle joyeuse）吗？戳此回顾
《神奈川冲浪里》这幅画在今天推荐的纪录片中有详细介绍，请不要错过——要不是专家讲解，我一直也没看清这幅画的重点呢。建议理解这幅画后再来欣赏下面这三首交响乐，感觉有那么点日本版“老人与海”的味道哟。

《日本生活的艺术》观后感(二)：截图而已
在西方介绍日本的节目中，这是我看过的最好的。期待小狐狸有更多机会展开说他对日本的感觉。
第一遍刷先放点儿截图。
看动作是真喜欢日本文化扇子上的俳句哈哈哈，喜欢这么幽默含蓄地解说方式。觉得好像脸红了。
“也许是画家的目光穿过几百年看着我们”，好浪漫。
不过他说雪舟的时候我有点不服，这张玉涧是13世纪的。
雪舟的也放一下吧看过几个美术馆的北斋，这张色彩是真美。瓷器一样的色泽。无需语言卡哇伊蝉在日本文化中的死亡象征
《日本生活的艺术》观后感(三)：The Art of Japanese Life
Japan, a country of aesthetics, maintains the capacity to bring various things in life as a form of art.
ature
hinto attitude towards nature
hinto is polytheistic and revolves around the kami ("gods" or "spirits"), supernatural entities believed to inhabit all things.
uddhism Zen
Japanese rock garden (枯山水)
ainting
o Sesshū Tōyō (雪舟等楊; 1420 –1506) was the most prominent Japanese master of ink and wash painting from the middle Muromachi period.
雪舟（1420－1506）是一位日本室町时代水墨画画家，出生于备中国赤滨（今 冈山县总社市）。原为相国寺僧人，可能其间向同寺僧人学到了一些绘画技巧。其早期绘画主要是关于宗教人物，后来广泛取法中国唐宋元的绘画，1464年离开相国寺。1467年终于有机会搭乘明日贸易的船只访问大明王朝。《四季山水画》就是他访华期间完成。1502年的《天桥立图》则是他艺术成就的巅峰。他在将水墨画注入民族情感方面有开拓性贡献，影响了雪村周继等后继者。
o Ogata Kōrin (尾形光琳; 1658 – 1716) was a Japanese painter, lacquerer and designer of the Rinpa school.
尾形光琳（1658－1716），日本江户时代的男性画家、工艺美术家，琳派代表人物之一。画风以大和绘风为基调，晩年也有水墨画的作品。大画面的屏风之外，也有香包、扇面、团扇等小型作品和手绘的小袖、莳绘等作品。
onsai (盆栽)
Cities
Miyabi (雅) is one of the traditional Japanese aesthetic ideals, though not as prevalent as Iki or Wabi-sabi. In modern Japanese, the word is usually translated as "elegance," "refinement," or "courtliness" and sometimes to a "sweet loved one".
In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi (侘寂) is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete".
Kyoto – beauty and elegance
· Murasaki Shikibu, The Tale of Genji
· tea as an art form
· Japanese tea ceremony
o express the appreciation of modesty, imperfection and impermanence
o a way to bring nature to the city
o Sen no Rikyū (千利休, 1522 –1591), also known simply as Rikyū, is considered the historical figure with the most profound influence on chanoyu, the Japanese "Way of Tea", particularly the tradition of wabi-cha.
千利休所创“侘”茶的茶道美学影响了许多方面，草庵茶更是引领日本茶道走向禅宗美学“本来无一物”的境界，并且由崇尚华贵“唐物”的审美过渡到遒劲枯高的本土化审美。在这种主张的影响下，日本茶道使用的茶碗发生了很大的变化，日本本土烧造的“乐烧”及朝鲜茶碗渐渐成为主流。
“茶碗”是最重要的茶具，品茶人都非常重视。“唐津烧”、“萨摩烧”、“相马烧”、“仁清烧”，尤其是“乐烧”等制品都非常适用于茶道。品茶人特别珍重“乐烧”，丰臣秀吉甚至用金印赐予制作者河米屋(朝鲜人)的儿子长次郎，特许他可以在瓷器上印有“乐”字，这是丰臣秀吉宅邸名称“聚乐”的第二个字。“乐烧”茶碗的构造非常适于饮茶：碗上涂有一层海绵状的厚糊，不易传热；粗糙的表面，易于把握；微微内卷的边沿，可防外溢；涂釉光滑，唇感舒适，且依然能使绿茶的泡沫就像在黑色粗瓷碗中那样明晰。
It is an artwork to be felt, to be touched, to be used, the texture, the weighting, the temperature, like you could feel the fingers of Chōjirō (長次郎, 1516–？1592) after 400 years.
Edo 江戶 Ukiyo-e (浮世), “floating world” – mysterious voice
· Kabuki (歌舞伎)
First performed by all female cast, later replaced by men performing both male and female roles
· Ukiyo-e woodblock printing
o Edo period – full-color printing for the first time
o Three roles: illustrator, wood carver, and printer
o Kitagawa Utamaro (喜多川歌麿mǒ; c. 1753 – 1806) was a Japanese artist. He is one of the most highly regarded designers of ukiyo-e woodblock prints and paintings, and is best known for his bijin ōkubi-e "large-headed pictures of beautiful women" of the 1790s. He also produced nature studies, particularly illustrated books of insects.
A third of his works are the city’s sex works in the red-light district.
The Pome of the Pillow 春畫 shunga
eries of city views
transported to Europe and shaped the form of modern art
Tokyo – turned the destruction into creation
treet photograph
animation film (Akira WWII)
design – urban aesthetics
Yayoi Kusama (草間彌生; 1929 - )
“infinity room” infinite metropolis glittering away into the night
Japan’s urban imagination
They all together build up a country blatantly searches for itself.
art in man life, the artfulness of people, Japan, a civilization of several thousands years, cares profundly the details, about getting the little things right...
Oh, I LOVE DR. JAMES FOX, his accent, the soft-spoken rhythm and most esssentially, his extraordinary writing!
《日本生活的艺术》观后感(四)：Notes
Japan is a society that has the capacity to turn everything into Art - not just the gardens and sculptures, but the way you drink tea, or the way you look at cherry blossom.
(*林语堂 《生活的艺术》*李渔《闲情偶寄》)
【E01. Nature】
hinto 神道教
-believes the world is inhabited by spirits known as Kami (神) all around us,
-Netsuke (挂坠): nothing in nature is too small to deserve our respect
-we can be incarnated into anything: wind, rock, water…
Zen 禅
-apart from meditation, also put emphasis on practical tasks such as tidying the garden, cooking, etc
lashed Ink Brush Painting 泼墨山水画
-an aesthetic that prefers ambiguity to clarity, absence to presence, and the hazy mysteries of nature
-emptiness/留白 as a visual metaphor for the silence of Zen meditation
Dry Landscape (枯山水)
-you can never see the complete set of stones, a reminder of human imperfection that one mind can never understand everything
-just like the paintings, garden is a blank canvas that enables the mind to wander in any direction it pleases
-"The answer isn't important, but the search for understanding. That's why we value the unknowable and the mysterious."
-You can't understand Japanese culture until you begin to embrace the beauty of mystery.
onsai
-a desire to capture a fragment of nature around us as decoration
-Goyamatsu: 500 y/o as Michealangelo's David. A paradox of creation both by human and nature.
Cherry Blossom
-fleeting beauty/cycle of life
-It is celebrated because of its transience. It is beautiful precisely because it does not last.
easons
-explicit
-a measurement of time, naturally and humanly
Mount Fuji
-its silhouette alone has become a metonym(转喻) for and entire culture
Thoroughness 彻底性
aoshima 直岛
Hiroshi Sugimoto 杉本博司 - 海景重复构图极致与古远的联结
And his shrine
quot;We've destroyed so much of nature, now it is a turning point-to think about how to live with nature."
【E02. Cities】
The constant flow of disasters have forced the Japanese to rebuild and reimagine their cities, turning them into one of the most dynamic in the world.
1.)Kyoto
-Inspired by Chang'an, every part of it carefully planned.
-In Kyoto, "style" was emphatically substance.
-Myabi (雅) 作为这座城市的核心美学
en no Rikyo (千力休) turned tea drinking into an art form.
-tea as revelation, elevating ppl's conciousness
-a ceremony to express modesty, imperfection and impermanence (无常)
-seeking an alternative of utensils, simple and undecorated: Raku pottery 乐烧, an art work to be held, touched, felt and used.
-Wabi-Sabi: the Japanese reverence for the imperfect, the unfinished, the worn-out
2.)Edo
-"Ukiyo", the pleasure district, the floating world, wasn't only a physical place, but also a state of mind.
quot;Living only for the moment,
turning our full attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, the cherry blossoms and the maple leaves,
inging songs, drinking wine,
diverting ourselves and just floating, floating,
caring not a whit for the pauperism,
taring us in the face,
Refusing to be disheartened,
Like a gourd floating along with the river current -
This is what we call the 'floating world'."
-Kabuki (歌舞伎)
-People's passion and enthusiasm for life reached a peakin the Edo period.
Wood Block Printing 木刻版画. illustrator + carver + painter
Ukiyo-e 浮世绘, pictures of the floating world
-Kitagawa Utamro: 1/3 works fascination of women at redlight districts
-The Poem of the Pillow, 1788
quot;Its beak caught firmly in the clam shell, the snipe cannot escape of an autumn evening."
The nape of her neck was considered more sexual than the genital
-Shunga (春画): spring pictures
-Hiroshige 歌川広重
They established the basis of a new visual grammar: bold, graphic, and economical, which later influenced the western modern art.
3.)Tokyo
-Rebranded from Edo, a new identity and new name.
Akasaka Palace: An attempt to represent Japan as a European power, a brazen act of cultural appropriation
Golden Gai: "an arena of human desires, a labyrinth, a myth"
Moriyama Daido 森山大道:
-father of street photography in Japan
-captures the rootless and hedonistic inhabitants in Tokyo's underbelly
-"An unkepmt stray dog glances at the photographer in the winter sunshine, a proxy for Moriyama himself - a loner scavenging the streets for scraps. It's also a symbol of Japan - a country that hadn't yet found its identity in the turbulence of the 20th century."
quot;We are used to recovery here. Just as trees grow back, life goes in a circle. Maybe it's in our spiritual make-up."
【E03. Families】
Carpentry
-In the case of the way of using tools, we pull, you (europeans) push. We care for the others.
-Your architects go against nature, we co-exist with it. We thought of ourselves living under a great tree-that's our attitude toward architecture.
-Respect is a cornerstone of his philosophy.
-spirit of shokunin 职人/匠人，absolute concrentration & precision on the work at his hands
quot;Ma" 间
-the negative space in between, the interval, the pause, the void, is just as full as what's surrounding it
”Length of time depends upon our ideas.
ize of space hangs upon our sentiments.
For one whose mind is free from care,
A day will outlast the millennium.
For one whose heart is large,
A tiny room is as the space between heaven and earth.” --菜根谭
Houses
-open-plan living, minimalist interiors, clean simple lines
-modernist architecture of hundred years old
-tokonoma 壁龛, heart of the home : a scroll of calligraphy+ ikebana
Ikebana: a domestic art, a highly personal expression.
-"It's about arranging the space around them (flowers).
easons are changing. Through Ikebana we learnt it's the same with humans: to be alive means constant change."
hodo 书道
-守，破，离: to learn, to break away, to transcend
Zenimalism: Zen+Minimalism
-a trademark of contemporary JP architects, a major national style of architecture
-Tadao Ando 安藤忠雄
-Toyo Ito伊东丰雄
-Kengo Kuma 隈研吾
-though it started with the rich, commercial brands like MUJI packaged and launched it to the mass market.
Mujirushi = no brand
-Image is what MUJI is all about
-a pack of "stones": an epitome of the tradition and stories behind
The artfulness of people.
There's a precision and elegance in so much of what they do.
A culture caring profoundly about details, about getting little things right. That's why even in the most ordinary places, beauty can be found.
