  • Dr James Fox continues his Japanese art exploration by taking a journey through Japan's mountainous forests, marvels at its zen gardens and admires centuries old Bonsai. He does this to explore the connections between Japanese culture and the natural environment. He examines how the country's two great religions, Shinto and Buddhism, helped shape a creative response to nature which is extremely different to the West. However, Dr James Fox also takes a closer look at modern Japan's changing relationship to the natural world and travels to Naoshima Art Island to see how contemporary artists are finding new ways to engage with nature.
    In this landmark series, art historian Dr James Fox takes us on a captivating journey through the art and history of one of the world's most enigmatic cultures. Travelling the length of Japan, James explores every inch from the falling cherry blossoms to the dazzling modern cities. Along the way James will discover for himself the importance of art and aesthetics to the Japanese life and culture. He will learn the secrets behind brush-painting, block-printing, bonsai-trimming as well as the importance of the Japanese nature and it's historical value and traditions that surround each element.

    The enthusiasm of the presenter is catching! And to slighly mirror the Lady's comment beneath mine, there is nothing nicer than a man dressed as a man. Great documentary.

    Art and beauty are heavily ingrained into their daily life, it is a very interesting concept. Art is what is dropped from much of western practices, especially when necessity becomes upfront. But the art, beauty, and tuned with nature creates something that is much longer lasting...you can see it in their still standing country homes and structures.

    Re: That stone 'garden'...it's not about the final destination, it's about the journey. The creator of the garden left us a huge clue in the fact that you cannot see the entire garden from any one position; to see the whole, and to orient yourself with regard to it, you MUST move around it

    This series is spectacular, a tour through the nature, culture and art history of Japan. Magnificent images packaged in a narrative full of information and curiosities about a different, very, very distant country that becomes an intimate friend through the series' videos. One of the best series that appeared on my RUclips home page.

    I love the blue flowers painting where they are reflection of each other up side and down...
    That's awesome and so realistic.
    The gold been as the sun sky on summers and the water where it was reflecting was an amazing way to show even the place where it was envisioned...

    Just simply love it.
    Thats why when u buy a small Japanese table garden they come with the rocks, sand, and "brush" or "sand broom".... U can change it everyday if u wish... Itis the Japanese soil mandala... I love it.
    Everything about their gardening has always enchanted me... The bonsai... Their paisagism... Some ppl think it's nostalgic or borred but it exists patience and vision ro your own limitations to even just be creatively intelligent to find ways of #hows

    I laughed when he said “even an intensely irritating insect like this one” @10:52 . As someone who grew up in Japan I don’t have so much negative feelings towards cicadas but I do admit that I found them “intensely irritating” when I was studying at home in summer as a high school student.

    Thank you for this terrific series on Japan. Very pleasing to see Alex Kerr get a mention n this episode. He has, together with his Japanese partners, done some amazing work to restore traditional Japanese country houses. Hopefully he will continue to get the credit he deserves.

    I'm kind of suprised he never used the word "sublime" nor made a comparison to Victorian interest in "the sublime" in thier art.

    "nature in Japan is ignored at one's peril..." said shockingly. This script is so awful and filled with cliches. What a jerk, on top of it. Wow, he even tasted the food. really went out on a limb, guy. His description of the Bonsai made me seriously consider cyanide.

    Great series, but unfortunately like most modern docus, the narrator is present in almost every scene. His suit and tie spoils the naturalness of a landscape.

      He said a lot about Japanese culture. So what if he’s in a suit? He’s obviously presenting himself as an outsider looking in with great interest. You, however, are just making a snarky, useless comment. You say much more about your shuttered mind than you do about this video. Seriously, dude, grow up.
