Yatsushi refers to the intentional transformation of something splendid and beautiful, or of a noble spirit, into something plain and common. [...]The Japanese writing system uses some different Chinese characters to represent yatsushi. One of these is the character , which conveys a sense of omission or reduction, of simplifying something. In this sense, yatsushi connotes reducing something splendid and magnificent to the small and simple; or taking something lofty and entitled status and reducing it to something commonplace and ordinary. For example, a Japanese dry landscape garden layout might be intended to convey an image of the vastness of Horai-san, or Mount Penglai, the legendary home of the Chinese Immortals. It achieves this in miniature with a few stones and some gravel. In effect, an ideal world, invisible to the eye, is recreated out of very ordinary materials. This is the beauty of the dry landscape garden. In Japanese flower arrangement, a few flowers placed in an alcove are a reduction (yatsushi) that represents the beauty of the flowering plants of each of the four seasons. Miniature bonsai trees are a direct example of yatsushi. The rustic simplicity of the tea ceremony takes the ideal of tea drinking in the rich, ornately decorated surroundings of a Japanese manor with luxurious Chinese implements and reduces it to the spare elgance of an austere, thatched cottage. [...] Viewing it this way, one can understand that the aesthetic sense of yatsushi is of central importance in classical Japanese visual and performing arts. Yatsushi is deeply connected to the fact the Japan as an island nation unquestioningly accepted the overpowering culture of continental Asia; then through a process of nativizing that culture, the Japanese reduced and simplified it in their own way. But as one investigates and ponders this concept of yatsushi, one somehow feels that something mysterious is going on. Simply put, why would reduction, yatsuhi, be associated with beauty at all ? Yatsushi is rarely beautiful in itself. The appearance is common, unsophisticated, sometimes shabby. even if you know that what you are seeing is a reduction of something splendid, does that necessarily mean it will appear beautiful ? That many people do react to it as beautiful must be because it move something deep in the human spirit, something deeper than understanding. This winter, I visited Tofuku-ji Temple in Kyoto. I looked out from the famous bridge Tsuten-kyo, which spans a small stream, over a forest of countless Japanese maples, now bare of their leaves. The ground was covered with a layer of huge maple leaves that looked like the white cast-off skins of small hands. For a moment, those of us gazing at this magnificent scenery traveled through time, spontaneously sensing the blazing red leaves of white autumn and the hidden life that was waiting to burst forth in the budding of early spring. It was strange to be reminded of the richness of seasonal changes while seeing only sere, dry branches. I have heard that long ago, the Japanese enjoyed, and still enjoy, flower-viewing in the spring and excursions to see the leaves of autumn. To be sure, such landscapes can seem very bleak . But precisely because they are bleak, there is a richness to the scene that one can see with the heart. Without the Japanese capacity to discern the depth of time that exists in seemingly plain and unsophisticated things, the beauty of yatsushi probably could not have arisen. A doorway to a world or richness opens from within familiar, plain appearance.
