「The great masters both of the East and the West never forgot the value of suggestion as a means for taking the spectator into their confidence.
Who can contemplate a masterpiece without being awed by the immense vista of thought presented to our consideration?
How familiar and sympathetic are they all; how cold in contrast the modern commonplaces!
In the former we feel the warm outpouring of a man's heart; in the latter only a formal salute.
Engrossed in his technique, the modern rarely rises above himself.
Like the musicisns who vainly invoked the Lungmen harp, he sings only of himself.
His works may be nearer science, but are further from humanity.
We have an old saying in Japan that a woman cannot love a man who is truly vain, for there is crevice in his heart for love to enter and fill up.
In art vanity is equally fatal to sympathetic feeling, whether on the par of the artist or the public.」(From the Book of Tea-Art Appreciation, pp.80-81, Charles E. Tuttle Co., Rutland, Vermont, Tokyo, Japan)
The art is the sincere sympathetic heart of humanity.
It should be the feeling of the warm outpouring of a man's heart.
