Features: "The Birth of Form" is a seemingly simple yet infinitely complex process. It lies deep within the cultural imagery of a nation, difficult to express in words, yet reflecting the intricate and elusive relationship of sociocultural evolution. It is not merely a quest for the roots of visual imagery. Mr. Sugiura uses the term "Theater of Mutual Correspondence of All Things" to present us with a fascinating stage of ancient civilizations, revealed through repeated observation and citation of a particular form or phenomenon. The interdependent human relationships and cultural content condensed within it are like weaving a network of human historical and sociocultural development.
