The uniqueness of the sense of Japanese beauty --- shadowsJunichiro Tanizaki (2011) stated that "Beauty does not exist in the object but in the ripples and brightness of the shadows created by the objects ” in his work 'In Praise of Shadows' to express his opinion on the Japanese sense of beauty regarding shadows (p. 35). In aesthetic dictionaries, shadow is vividly described as "the light and shadow cast by many branches of foliage on the ground." The ancient Japanese discovered and appreciated the beauty of shadows which led to shadow aesthetics becoming a uniquely Japanese aesthetic tradition. On the other hand, Europeans have developed a totally different aesthetic tradition that advocates light and the sun. This report will first compare different aesthetic traditions.

The fireplace in the living room is not only used for winter heating but also for lighting during a long night. The park usuallyWestern diamond culture is more rational and focuses on its formation mechanism and the beauty of the structure, with more logical thinking but less imaginative thinking, more scientific exploration but less humanistic precipitation. Westerners pay more attention to its crystalline structure, internal structure, material composition. They try to study diamonds from a natural point of view and from a scientific point of view to understand nature and explore scientific knowledge which is a purely logical and knowledge-seeking culture. In fact, they do not have stone culture, but only stone science, geology and mineral science. However, people try to give meanings to jade and appreciate these meanings in the East. Orientals focus more on the character of jade, for example, people appreciate the shadows and faint light emitted by jades because they think it is a kind of implicit and restrictive character in line with their aesthetic
