There is a form in the intangible cultural asset of Japan, for example Judo, Japanese dance, and Tea ceremony. If I think that Japanese garden is the intangible cultural asset of Japan, that have a form also. But it is problem that they are not aware of a form at observation. Of course, the intangible cultural asset of Japan has a relationship to the religion, so that have the spiritual characteristics.
It is one of the most important sense of
Japanese traditional culture, but after WWII there have disappeared. The
traditional spiritual culture has been negation by the education. Conversely,
it is most important that the education of the traditional spiritual culture
about Japanese garden, that contain about the form also. Nowadays, the
education of the landscape architecture doesn’t contain the spiritual
characteristic, so I think that is the emasculated garden's form, and that is
only for a beautiful sightseeing facility. Similarly, "Matsuri (Japanese
traditional festival)" is an intangible cultural asset of Shinto Shrine,
so which needs understanding the spiritual characteristic.

For
example, if you build the Zen garden, you need a knowledge of Zen. It is
important when the gardener portray something, he builds what is based on the
spiritual characteristic, similarly you have to hold a knowledge on an
observation. I am a Zen Buddhist, if I make my work about Zen garden, they are
not interested in that, but the chief priests of Zen temple are very interested
in that. My family said that they have to study about Zen Buddhism for
understanding my works. One of my work is always display at beside the Buddhist
statue made at Heian era. From those situations, my work shows the spiritual
characteristic of the intangible cultural asset.
