Long ago in Japan, many poor people had no choice but to manage with very little in their households as they went about the business of daily living.  For example, such homes might contain a chest, a small amount of clothing, and a few well-worn wooden bowls.  Cooking utensils were used for generations.  They were repeatedly broken and fixed until they were beyond repair due to the poverty of their owners.


In contrast, those in the upper class enjoyed lives filled with culture, and traditional arts.  Noteworthy examples of these traditional arts include Ikebana, Sado, No, and others.  These highly sophisticated works of art were made by highly respected craftsmen, each of whom had dedicated his life to his craft. 

This tradition continues unchanged today.  All pieces are made by dedicated and skilled artisans, who retain the respect and admiration of the craftsmen who prededed them.  Days, months, and years are spent, as cherished traditions are passed on to future generations of artisans.

At the Ikebana ceremony, there are flower vases and scrolls.  At Sado, there are tea bowls, iron kettles, incense burners, and lacquerware.  At No, there are masks and musical instruments.
