Adachi
Museum of Art:
Guide: Every
day the staff go out for an hour to check the garden and keep everything
clean.
The garden designed to be seen through windows. Gardens with mountain backdrop
framed by the windows. Not to enter. All plants rocks water arranged.
Controlled. Planned. Not natural. Beautiful.
Founder of
the museum: A garden is thought of as a living canvas.
I have learnt something about Japan. And now I know more about Tas. In Tas we
worship nature wild natural and free. We fight against development that affects
environment values that affects natural world. We assume man-made is bad.
Japan they can’t conceive of natural wilderness. Nature is to be bent shaped
moulded until it is beautiful.
A cow is to be kept indoors until its meat is soft and tender. No free grazing.
No natural browsing. No enjoyment.
Bonsai is deformed stunted trees with limbs held down or up until they look
beautiful. The tree never fruits. Not living a natural free happy in a
sustainable environment. The caged tree exists as beautiful object. A fashion
piece in a high-rise block of apartments.
