Secondly, the unique climate and geographical environment of the island have cultivated the Japanese nation's sensitivity to nature. Naturalism has become a traditional feature of Japanese art and design. Japanese culture and art are not so exaggerated and strongly exposed, but fall in love with the beauty of a grass, a leaf, a wild flower and a stone. It pays more attention to the inner meaning than the exposed brilliance, and pursues the elegance of washing and training more than gorgeous and luxurious. Japanese aesthetics pays more attention to the deep, abstruse and quiet realm, and advocates showing deep attachment and faint sadness to nature and life in silence. The Zen thought introduced from China strengthened this feature, and the craft culture and design style under the influence of Zen thought have long occupied a dominant position in Japan. This view of nature and aesthetic attitude has had an important impact on the development of art design.
Thirdly, the development of Japanese traditional art design not only benefits from the reference and absorption of foreign experience and achievements, but also benefits from the improvement and innovation on the basis of imitation and reference. Although Japanese art design in ancient civilization once formed some characteristics of its own, since Buddhism was introduced, Japanese art design has been strongly influenced by China and North Korea, and for a long time, it has shown a trend of "tang style leaning to one side". On the one hand, Japanese society focuses on transforming the internal structure of culture and geographical environment in order to better accept foreign dominant culture; On the other hand, constantly transform foreign cultural forms and turn them into the driving force for their own development. It can be said that Japanese traditional art design has been developing in the process of imitation, transformation and innovation. Because of this, although many Japanese art designs originated from China and North Korea, their development is often imitated by others, and eventually they surpass the suzerain countries such as China and North Korea in many aspects.
Finally, art design occupies a very special position in Japanese culture, and the Japanese people pay more attention to and admire technology than other countries. Since ancient times, the Japanese people have attached great importance to craftsmen and manual stunts, and attached importance to creating practical products closely related to food, clothing, housing and transportation. Both artists and ordinary people often have some expertise in design and technology. The broad mass base of this technical design is a powerful guarantee for the smooth development of Japanese art design. At the same time, in Japan, there is never a clear distinction between pure art and practical art design. Artists are also craftsmen and designers. Even if he is mainly engaged in artistic creation, he has maintained a craftsman-like persistence.
