Tradition versus Modernity

Everyone in this world has its own culture and how should the world be? Their lives were in their customs for many years and for thousands of years. These things should "unite us". (Bansal) But what happens when our own culture and ideas are challenged by new things representing change. People began to become confused and began to reject what they would not like to try or what they did not think right. Modernism is a "rational interpretation of religious, social and economic institutions and phenomena". (Singer) gives us the opportunity to prosper in a society with different cultures and beliefs.

As this general discussion shows, all Asian nationalist movements encounter problems of national culture and westernization, tradition and modernization, and the establishment of a common national identity between groups that may be more or less diverse did. The following case study will unveil the special case of these problems and some of those different solutions. Japan's response to Western expansionists is a modernization project (often called Meiji Restoration (1868)) designed to bring the country to the west. The Meiji government's main measures are promotion of industry, establishment of modernization army under central control, and development of universal education. The focus of the citizens of the Meiji era, National Assembly and Army's National Loyalty is the resurgence of the Meiji Emperor

After Japan was opened to the world, after the 1868 Meiji Restoration, the Japanese learned the world from the viewpoints of tradition and contemporary values. This attitude structure began to fall apart in 1978, and that collapse became clear by 1988. For example, the nature of "conquest" is an important value in the era of Japan's modernization, but it has been replaced by the "follow-up" nature. . In the mid-20th century, the traditional view of catching up with the West and classifying the West and Japan became pointless (Oxtoby 2001).

Japan is a moving country: ancient traditions and high-tech contemporary culture, pure minimalism and a complex decorative style are at Too Pretty To Throw Away. The program is divided into three parts: the first part is developed around the traditional art tradition, the second part is called everyday alchemy, and the last part is how to interpret the level of decoration I will explain. Upon entering the exhibition on the top floor, we welcome you from the eclectic work of the 19th century borrowed from the Valken Kunde Art Museum (National Ethnographic Museum, Leiden) by a dim room. There are many sake bottles, ceramics, stationery sets, woodcut prints, and portable picnic sets. My favorite in this section is Jubako, a stack of food containers decorated with phoenix and paulownia trees, a black "no" mask box covered with golden pine example with beautiful silk thread
