This course aims to outline the relationship between traditional Japanese arts and letters and their religious and philosophical background. The main emphasis is on showing the specific place of fine arts in the context of the Japanese spiritual culture, which was the unique blend of foreign beliefs (Buddhism, Taoism and Christianity) and an indigenous world-view, based on the Shinto faith.
