Wed, Apr 16, Understanding Japanese Aesthetics

by Alyssa Derania on


JASO is excited to co-host an evening with the Japan Society of Northern California, exploring Japanese aesthetics through art, architecture, and gardens. From the refined rusticity of wabi-sabi to suggestive mystery, from freedom and spontaneity in artistic expression to elegance and courtliness in manner and ritual.

Special guest Steve Beimel of JapanCraft21 takes us through these concepts and more, as we consider elements including framing, transition, color, and presentation that have developed over a thousand years.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the foundations of Japanese beauty with renowned expert Steve Beimel – reserve your spot today! This virtual event is FREE of charge.

JapanCraft21‘s purpose is to revitalize traditional Japanese master crafts (dentou kougei) by identifying the issues artisans face and implementing solutions for the 21st Century.
