This lecture was so interesting, and was especially cool to hear for a second time two years later. I recognized some aspects of the presentation and learned new things which added to my base understanding of Japanese art. The ideas of wabi-sabi have stuck with me through the years, and the appreciation of art through its imperfections has always seemed so intriguing since there seems to often have a heavy influence on perfection when it comes to sculpture and painting. Unfinished work or work centered around every-day art rather than polished work is a truly unique element of Japanese art. The differences between eastern and western culture came through during this lecture when she discussed how although both are very integrated within religion and society, Japanese art is founded in the celebration of Shinto religion and others such as Buddhism and Confucianism. Overall, I really appreciated this lecture for the focus on how events such as tea ceremonies in Japanese culture celebrated art in a very different way from Westernized movements, and it honestly aligns very much with my own love for "rough" and "imperfect" work.
