A Visual Representation Of Traditional Aesthetic Concepts In Japanese Animation Films

"Aware" "Yugen" "Wabi-Sabi" are aesthetic concepts conceived in Japanese traditional culture.The three seem to be isolated,but are actually systemic differentiations."Aware" belongs to the aesthetic subject theory,focusing on the true feelings of the subject's emotions.Lamenting the feelings of life and death in "the mourning of things",in the Japanese animated film,through the play method and editing effects to create a time and space interlace between this world and the other world,showing the courage to surpass the physical bondage and dedication to life and death."Yugen" belongs to the theory of artistic content,focusing on the deep meaning of You Xuan hidden under the appearance of "things".The concept of "Yu Xuan" can be converted into a hidden meaning in environmental design such as props and landscapes in Japanese animated movies.The "Yu Xuan" of props and landscapes expresses a unique concept of survival."Wabi-Sabi" is a harmonious relationship between subject and object,focusing on expressing the individual's free and easy attitude and open-minded peace of mind.Incorporating the beauty of the "Wabi-Sabi" on the level of individual spirit into Japanese animation films can transform the tragic and sublime nature of human relationships.When the representations of "Aware" "Yugen" "Wabi-Sabi" in Japanese animation films are transformed into space-time construction,environment construction and human relationship construction,the corresponding relationship between each other is not strict and absolute,but has a tendency to present.Therefore,on the basis of sorting out these three aesthetic concepts,this thesis deeply studies and analyzes the contemporary transformation of traditional culture realized in Japanese animated films,and interprets them with specific Japanese animated film works,and analyzes the implications contained in Japanese animated films.The development of Japanese animated films is closely related to Japan's national strategic policies.With the formal establishment of the three aesthetic concepts of "Aware" "Yugen" "Wabi-Sabi" in the 1940 s and the strategy of "cultivating the country" implemented in the 1990 s.It is only in Japan that the importance of cultural exchange and cultural output is taken from the perspective of traditional culture and traditional aesthetics in the creation of animated films,along the path of national development.Therefore,Japanese animation movies present traditional aesthetic concepts in their creation,and gradually establish the cultural identity of Japanese animation movies in the field of world animation movies.As an art genre,animated films are not only expressions,but also dissemination.Learning from the experience of Japanese animation films in presenting the concept of traditional Japanese aesthetics can provide new ideas for the creation and production of Chinese animation films,and open up a viable path for China's animation films to tap traditional cultural resources.
