From the text- "The ornament, the decorative, the world of motifs, the arrangement, the nuances of colors: all these were elementary prerequisites which played so essential a role in the formal process of creating Japanese art products. Whether in the art of gardening, in the tea ceremony, in Zen meditation, in the Kabuki theatre, in the manufacture of kimonos or also in the field of the arts and crafts: it is the tendency towards perfection in craftsmanship, towards the autonomous mastery over material and matter, that yields the sum of what we marvel at in astonishment as the result, as perfect harmony and inner balance."
