Japan Spirit and Form #1

#1: “Form at the Beginning” To quote the narrator: “To begin this series we’ll look at some of the oldest surviving designs fashioned by the Japanese.” We see lots of closeups of Jomon vases from thousands of years ago. Series host Shuichi Kato travels to Mexico to look at Mayan ruins and compare Mayan and Japanese artistic forms. A lot of time in this episode is spent in Mexico, including a segment on the revival of the mural, an art from practiced in the region before the Europeans came. Kato laments the lack of a similar revival in Japan where artists remain influenced by western styles and forms. Luigi Collani and David Alfaro Siqueiros are among the artists featured in the piece. This is a series from NHK produced in 1989 and designed to show Japanese influences on art around the world and vice versa.
