Renaissance has been long known exclusively to European nations. It is a certain era of cultural rebirth, where discoveries of different forms of art, such as visual art and literature (as well as the artists) have marked their golden days.
After Japan closed its doors to foreign influences, the natives of the Land of the Rising Sun found their own perspective in aesthetics, which is still evident in the present time and continuously evolving.
The main reason why Japan must be called a "Renaissance Nation" is due to its passionate people. The Japanese always find ways to be creative in anything that they do. Their comfort in long hours of work is actually being satisfied with their craft. More so, their deep appeciation and love in art keep them motivated to do better. You will always find art in their everyday life. Even their way of life is considered as art. Beauty and appearance has always been an important factor to them.
You will see it in their food preparation, the relaxing tea ceremonies, in temples, outdoor museums, how they appreciate the nature, even in manholes... definitely, everything in Japan is a medium for art.
Visit Japan and witness their unique traditional and contemporary art they are proud of.
