Imagine something beautiful.

So, I imagine a flower which is swinging by the wind of autumn.
Zeami said that the most beautiful thing is secret.
He gave a mask which the role's feeling was symbolized to each actor.
By this way, actors necessarily showed their nature.


On the other hand, Basho MATUO said the most beautiful thing is simple and undecorated--wabi, sabi.
It's clear that Basho is one of successors of Zeami's concept about beauty.

What do you think a secret, simple, and undecorated thing is?

Secret things are two types.
One is the case that what people much want to see is simply unseen, they feel it secret by themselves.
It is another case that someone makes a certain thing unseen on purpose.

I think Zeami mostly mentioned the former.
Because the later is not essentially beautiful.
Zeami frequently suggested young actors to do better craft, though, the thing which concealed by someone is generally related with human's desire and fault.

We are unable to create more beautiful things than nature.
Our crafts that get something charming should be as natural as possible.

In other words, pursuit of the beauty needs understanding to nature.

Basho MATSUO traveled into all around of Japan in order to witness the natural beauty.
This is the reason that his work has been one of the top level of art even now.
Of course, his works described his images blended the real view.
But, to witness the natural beauty brought the guarantee and the confidence to his works.
In this way, most of the creative works of art has various crafts which understand natural beauty--including human's feelings.

Basho also advocated the mind of simple and undecorated description called wabi and sabi.
What is wabi and sabi -- simple and undecorated mind?

It is far distance from the natural beauty if people make human's desire and fault concealed by a egoistic reason.
But when we try to face and be going to look at these, we must deal with negative feelings that boiled by witness.
These nagative feelings are the very natural for human's lives.
In short, people never live without dealing with their negative feelings.
At that time, I recall Basho's mention--wabi and sabi.

I assume that Basho was concious of his former person called SEN no Rikyu.
Rikyu also had elaborate a plan of the tea room.

Rikyu said.
The best room is simple and undecorated apart from some little crafts for expression of the welcome mind.
The area need not to be wide.
It enables a guest and a host to have some conversation in order to share their true mind.
The lights there also need not to be bright.
It should be natural and it has just the degree which enable a guest and a host to understand their feelings each other.

In conclusion, I think a beautiful thing often seems a secret as if it's why a flower is blooming with bending by the wind.

The why must be simple, undecorated, and necessarily -- honest.
