Page 6 POST-GAZETTE, JULY 19, 2013 Thank You to All Living in Harmony with Nature by Bennett Molinari and Richard Molinari A Japanese artist who always interested us is Utamaro, he was a woodblock printer born in 1753 during the Edo period that extended from 1603 to 1868 under the Tokugawa Shogunate. Utamaro’s work is characterized by wonderful draftsmanship and harmony of design, creating for the observer a very real sense of calm and tranquility. Our interest in Japanese art led us to an interest in Japanese culture and ultimately to the philosophy of Satoyama which con- notes living in harmony with nature. It is a philosophy that acknowledges our utter dependence on nature and the necessity to strike a balance between what we take and what we give back to our planet. It is the acknowledgement that our planet is finite Saint Francis of Assisi and that there are limitations to what we tributing to a feeling of helplessness, a can take from it, that each of us must be sense that we are doomed to the stresses mindful of our relationship with the envi- and pressures of our modern way of life and ronment and our impact on it that there is little we can do about it.
