12. Theater, painting, architecture, sculpture and arts and crafts of Japanese culture

A special aesthetic function is performed in the theater by the magnificent, luxurious attire of the actors and masks, which express the subtlest shades of human feelings with deep psychologism. In dramas, the main emphasis was on psychological images. Comprehension of the acting skills of the No theater began from early childhood and improved throughout life. The repertoire is very diverse: at present, about 240 plays of various content are known. It is noteworthy that in classical theatre, all roles, including women's, are performed only by men.

The tradition of kabuki theater is tied to urban culture. Kabuki was a favorite spectacle of city dwellers of all strata and levels of wealth and suited the tastes of this public. The emergence of kabuki theater dates back to the very beginning of the XNUMXth century.

In parallel with the tradition of kabuki, the tradition of Japanese puppet theater, jeruri, also developed. Each doll, which is approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of a person's height, is controlled by 3 people at once.

The religious currents of Japan influenced the development of Japanese art. The legendary history of Japan, the exploits of gods and heroes have become the plot basis for many works of Japanese fine art. An idealized natural landscape served as an expression of Confucian aesthetic principles in painting, causing the viewer to strive for perfection and impeccability. Zen ideas also inspired art, including monochrome ink painting on paper. Buddhist painting became widespread, focusing on the canonical images of the Buddhist pantheon. Traditional Japanese painting is characterized by a wide variety of styles, forms and techniques.

In Japan, starting from the XNUMXth century, Buddhist temples were built. Open for viewing, they served as a decoration of the area; their high multi-tiered roofs organically fit into the relief, harmoniously blending with the surrounding landscape.

Grandiose castles with high towers, decorated with multi-tiered roofs, became a characteristic feature of Japanese architecture of the XNUMXth-XNUMXth centuries. The heart of the castle was the main wooden tower, erected on a stone foundation. Stone walls were built around this tower with adjoining outbuildings and courtyards, and protective ditches were dug. Household items in Japan played the role of ritual attributes. Masters sought to give them an impeccable appearance. For example, many bowls for the tea ceremony were valued unusually highly for "the seal of otherworldly beauty", containing the whole Universe.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Interface for office equipment 28.11.2006

Three-channel, 16-bit analog interface chip (analog front end, AFE) from National Semiconductor, according to the manufacturer, can significantly improve the performance of multifunctional devices (MFPs) focused on office use.

For example, color copy speeds are estimated by National Semiconductor to be in excess of 40 pages per minute. Operating at frequencies up to 45 MHz, the LM98714 is the first AFE to integrate a programmable time clock for charge-coupled devices (CCD) and contact image sensors (CIS), as well as a low-voltage serial interface with using difference signals (LVDS).

Today's high-speed copiers capable of making color copies are quite bulky and expensive. The LM98714 is expected to enable cost-effective and fast desktop-sized devices. The set of functions implemented in the microcircuit makes it possible to place the AFE directly on the CCD board, optimizing the design of the copier, reducing the level of electromagnetic interference and increasing its speed.

The LM98714 has the industry's best signal-to-noise ratio of 74dB and the industry's lowest power consumption of 505mW. It is expected that the novelty will find application in copiers, MFPs, devices for counting banknotes, scanners, faxes. The chip is available in a 48-pin TSSOP package.
