Suiboku-kukan = February’s flower Asian Plum =
The plum is said to have crossed over to Japan as a medicinal herb, around the same time as the influence of Chinese culture. It was cultivated even before the start of the Nara Period and is widely mentioned in the Man'yôshû ("Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves"), Japan's oldest collection of poetry. When the plum was brought to Japan, scholars of the Man'yô made it a point to study and adopt the Chinese philosophy of "pleasure in plum gazing." It is believed that this philosophy led to the emergence of "elegance" as a value in Japanese society.
To remove all extraneous elements from an object, leaving only its essence--this is the way of suiboku, the art of brush painting. A suiboku painting uses dramatic and exquisite strokes of charcoal to reveal both the vividness of nature and the philosophy of the painter.
Originally a technique perfected over the course a thousand years, suiboku has now been recreated with revolutionary engineering from TeamLab for a presentation we call Suiboku-kukan. This is just one of the ways Hitachi builds for the future through inspiration from our past.
At Hitachi, we work harder to develop the next great advancements in technology, with the belief that images should awe, surprise, and inspire. So step inside and experience our latest creation - a panorama that combines the emotional power of TeamLab's Suiboku-kukan with the visual brilliance of Hitachi displays.
