Document Summary
Shiba kokan"s seven-miles beach with enoshima and fuji mid 1700"s. To catch the moment of a wave moving is incredible. Is an act of knowing how to look, how to see. Consider ways of looking stratified by class or status . Scholars contemplate, while peasants (along with women, children, and eunuchs) just look (120) And the relationship between land, art and cultural history (396) When looking at these (western) paintings, one should close one eye and, with the other eye, stare at them for a long time so that the buildings and the walls reveal their trupe shapes . The way your or i knows how to see has to be trained to. Viewing as an act of social interaction. Being part of class has taught how to view. Not the one closed eye of stationary viewership. Instead you are meant to imagine being in the painting. But also, to see, to look, to contemplate together, a social act.
