Detail: The antique art works that we know today have been handed down from one person to the next over the centuries. During that time the objects have been transformed through the natural process of aging, usage and even historical events. Some objects have been transformed specifically due to the tastes of their owners or the period. Painting, handscrolls and calligraphies, for example, were remounted into new segmented forms, or damaged tea ceremony utensils repaired, so that today quite a few art works bear a different shape, size or format than when they were produced. These transformations of course greatly affect the forms of the objects and how we appreciate them and sense their beauty.
