| مستخلص: |
This essay explores how key ideas in Japanese aesthetics may enhance the current interest in the intersection of empathy, art, and museums. First, I provide a brief discussion of empathy, focusing on how it attenuates an egocentric perspective by providing an experience of otherness, leading to an awareness and appreciation of human interconnectedness. Second, I explore how the appreciation of impermanence in Japanese aesthetics may elucidate the interconnectedness and fellow feeling that empathy implies. In particular, I discuss the aesthetic concepts of mono no aware, wabi, and sabi. Third, I consider one example of how empathy and impermanence relate to the experience of visual art through a discussion of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi’s woodblock print series One Hundred Aspects of the Moon.
