Select two art works from Japanese culture and explain several ways in which these works illustrate Japanese tastes for simple forms and natural materials
What will be an ideal response?
Responses will vary depending on the selection of artwork. Japanese culture comes into clearer focus during the first centuries of our era. Cylindrically shaped terra-cotta figures, called haniwa, embody the taste for simple forms and natural material. Housed in a structure made of raised wooden piles and a thatched roof, the shrines are left unpainted as the haniwa were left unglazed.
