Summary/Abstract: The text analyzes Heidegger’s attitude towards East Asian art. His thesis is developed that the language of aesthetics cannot explain the basic concepts of Japanese or East Asian art. Then a comparison is made between the film Rashomon and the nodrama. The difference between European and East Asian art is established. European art is symbolic and representational. It is based on the understanding of Being. East Asian art is non-symbolic and non-representative. Emptiness, non-beings play an essential role in its determination. Then, Heidegger’s position is shown that language as a hermeneutic relation to being is a medium of a possible encounter with East Asian art. At the end, the consequences of such an attitude are determined for Heidegger’s philosophy of art and the thinking the event.
