If we don't talk about natural scenery, how can we have Japanese aesthetics? Since ancient times, Japan has built history and nurtured culture based on its unique natural environment. Japanese literature, art, architecture, religion, folk customs and daily life all contain core connotations represented by natural scenery. In this book, the famous Japanese scholar Takahashi Senkenhao uses microscopic images such as trees, flowers and birds, song insects, wind and rain as the entry point to talk about culture, folk customs and history. In the dragonflies loved by Emperor Jimmu, the wind in Sugawara Michizane's songs, and the myths related to clouds in "Kojiki", we can get a glimpse of traditional Japanese customs. We can also slow down, capture the information of the four seasons in the busy modern life, and pursue the beauty of natural scenery that is increasingly forgotten.
