Gutai art was first started in Japan by Jiro Yoshihara. “The kangi used to write ‘gu’ means tool, measures, and a way of doing something, while ‘tai’ means body”. This style of art focused on the beauty of destruction and gave it a deeper meaning to life. It was really important to become one with the tools and because of this, you would get a final product.
In Japanese culture they incorporate art in many different ways. For example, Kabuki, which is the art of performing by singing and dancing. Their style of art is aggressive but has a much deeper meaning to it. With Kabuki theater, every single movement tells a story. The costumes used and the way the make up is applied adds to portraying the story. 
Geishas symbolize their style of art. They use specific brushes and tools to apply their make up. When they apply their make up, they compare their face to a canvas and they are creating art when the make up if applied. Because of the brushes they use, theres art.
