   Very interesting question. But then a lot of art and beauty were created for / sponsored by the rich. I think the majority.
   For example, should the Italian Renaissance art be dismissed for this reason?

     @SabinaKnight @philosophy @stancarey @nicup @codewiz This aesthetic has always struck me as elitist. Any idea of how far it goes in Japanese society? I presume peasants were not mending pots with inlaid *gold*, eh?

     The question then is why do we admire the Japanese elite and ignore their attitudes to human beings?
