Two cool articles on the art of forming a glob of mud into a shiny polished ball called a “dorodango” (Japanese):
- This one is more of the philosophical / metaphorical side of it, and is a really good introduction.
- This one is about someone’s first attempt to actually make one.
Is there some specific art term for art that’s meant to be temporary / transient, like these or the sand paintings that Buddist monks do?
