Triptych - Gold, Glory, Gospel (Japanese Culture)

Japanese Culture
Culture is a lifestyle owned by a group and passed down from generation to generation. Japan is currently a country that consider to be the most modern country in the world. But this Japanese country is also is a country that continues to attach importance to the traditions that have existed since centuries ago. I chose to elevate various Japanese cultures as the theme of this photography is because Japanese culture has a variety of unique which can describe the keyword gold, glory, and also gospel. Other than that it is not like other countries to this day Japan still continues to uphold the culture of that has been passed down through generations. Culture is also a is a top priority as well as an obligation to the Japanese. Moreover This Japanese culture also has its own uniqueness that most cannot found in other countries.

Gold (Japanese Tea Ceremony)
Japan's most famous culture is the Tea Ceremony or Sado. This tea ceremony has become Japan's most unique culture and well-known and regarded as a cultural treasure that is still very thick and interesting also for tourists. In addition, the price of tea there is also the price of tea which is very expensive and considered valuable in Japan. Because of its still culture very thick and known by many tourists This tea ceremony became one of Japan's cultural treasures. Therefore, the tea ceremony can be
describe keyword gold because they both talk about wealth. This tea ceremony has many rules to do. In addition, in its implementation must also be done carefully and slowly to avoid mistakes. 

Glory (Japanese Calligraphy)
Japanese literature became a glory of Japan because at first the culture in Japan still follows the culture China and does not yet have its own distinctive culture. But in Heian times began calligraphy techniques with katakana and hiragana letters appear. The emergence of a new culture typical of Japan makes the economy in those days it suddenly became increasing and Japan reached its peak of glory with the advent of the paper industry is growing very rapidly. Life Japan's suddenly increasing economy is a pride for the country of Japan. In addition to having the first culture that is a Japanese culture and not cultural acculturation, Japan is also a countries with excellent economies. This is an achievement culture for the Country of Japan. 
Gospel (Worship The Gods)
Japan in general still preserves religious culture by visit the temple to worship the Gods. Japan is also dominated by people Shinto and Buddhist religions. On the gospel concept I want to show in my work I want to show the religious culture of the Shinto religion who worships Gods. Gods commonly worshipped in Shinto religion in general are the ancestors of families, territories, people who tragically died or
the man who made great achievements for the world, the ancient gods of the stories nature itself, weather, regions, and so on. In Shinto is also a deity regarded as the protector of mankind. But inside some cases in Japan which is currently the country that produces films the best animations are manga and anime. There are several people, namely Otaku who have an over-interest in the character to worship the character the unreal anime is like a God. The worship is done using flowers and various tools for religious rituals in Shinto religion, one of which is by using incense and by serving tea or food. Therefore in my work this I want to show majas metaphor of the anime characters worshipped like a God of Shinto religion.
