Creature aesthetic appearance

any works with fearful features and image.
Such are based on the Buddhist philosophy that the mortal world is self torment and to want something is foul passion
In Japan, it is thought that the ultimate of wanting something is lust, and such energy is thought to be something negative in the Japanese Mind.

However, in the modern world, it is thought that balance is important, and that you do not have to deny everything.
Also, tracing back human history,
to materialize the non-material spiritual body and to be able to visualize it, was thought to be a act of striving for the truth (Idea). Seeking for the truth (Idea) is an unique human value and such values lies in the base of ideology and philosophy.
It is considered to be more beautiful as one becomes closer to Idea (nature=the ultimate form of the spiritual body)
Whether if the two ideologies originated from one or if they were different from the beginning, is unknown. But in modern day Japan, you can say that the two ideologies are mixed, as seen in sculptural works.
When you conclude that truth is the human spirituality that continues to desire (or rather more, bottomless lust), the appearance may be as beautiful as it may be ugly.
Thus, it may be said that true beauty exists in repulsiveness.

Ritual elements

RESTORE often uses ritual elements.

Ritual is a dogma that strongly recognizes the relationship of the material world

and the spiritual world.

that amplifies the image of the spiritual world.

When feel RESTORE univers from ritual element,
some kind of the idea or feel beauty.

Penie

In the Western Ideology where “Theory of Ideas” is the basis of physical beauty,

penny was thought to be as a part of the physical beauty.
It is also the symbol of energy in Japan and many other parts of the world such as India

and African countries.
It may be said that penny is a symbol that combines both beauty and energy.
