Quote by J. M. Roberts
Overall, the anarchy was the most creative of all periods of Japanese culture for in it there appeared the greatest landscape painting, the culmination of the skill of landscape gardening and the arts of flower arrangement, and the No drama.
Summary
This quote suggests that during a period of chaos and lack of order, known as anarchy, Japan experienced a surge of creativity and artistic expression. The author highlights three specific artistic achievements during this time: landscape painting, landscape gardening, and the No drama. This implies that the absence of structure and established systems allowed for unique and innovative artistic developments to flourish. Thus, despite the turmoil, the anarchy period in Japanese culture is associated with exceptional creative output.
