This paper deals with the key concepts of Japanese aesthetics, whosepeculiarities arose at the intersection of cultural-historical, poetic and literarytheoretical impulses at a time when clear distinctions between literary, visualand applied arts in Japan were absent. The analysis of the assumptions oftheir emergence - which frequently alternate between political and aestheticpropositions - is conducted by consulting and interpreting relevant sources inorder to question or confirm the established interpretations.Keywords: Japanese Aesthetics, fūryū, iki, mono-no-aware, yūgen, nihonjinron,Mingei theory
