    The meticulousness（一絲不茍） that drives the craftsman's spirit，has made the arts of Japan famous worldwide.But how may this traditional spirit of perfectionism，or kodawari，have wide-ranging influences on everyday life in modern Japan？
    Nagasawa Rosetsu was an ancient artist who produced Five Hundred Arhats.He drew the 500 chief followers of the Buddha in a work that measures just 3cm square，roughly the size of a postage stamp.You'll need to take out the magnifying glass（放大鏡） for this one!
    Back to modern-day Japan，the most well-known modern Japanese artist is Yayoi Kusama.One of her most representative works is her large-scale spotted pumpkin sculptures.Kusama has also produced many hand-painted works with a level of detail that must have taken weeks，if not months，to complete.Having suffered from a disorder for many decades，Kusama applies herself to painting detailed patterns as a kind of treatment；the repetition involved in creating the work allows her to keep control of her mind.
    When did kodawari，this Japanese's seeking of perfection and devotion to detail begin？I suppose it was even as far back as the Heian period，which began over one thousand years ago.In her The Pillow Book，the court lady Sei Shōngon took it upon herself to write lists of objects and situations that she found to be beautiful due to their perfection.
    Today there are still many examples of this single-minded devotion to one's work in Japan.You can find shops that only produce a single product，whether it be pickled vegetables，tofu，or Mochi sweets.It's often said that at the best sushi restaurants，apprentice （學(xué)徒） chefs will often be tasked for many years with washing and cooking the rice and perfecting this skill before they are even allowed to pick up a knife to begin slicing fish.
    This single-minded devotion to one's craft，whether it be in the field of fine art and handicrafts，or at a local sushi restaurant，is surely one of the defining characteristics of Japanese culture today.

1．Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history.
   Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers，for food，for sport，and simply because they were in the way.Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever.Hundreds more are on the danger list today.About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.
   Why should people care？Because we need animals.And because once they are gone，there will never be any more.

   Luckily，some people are working to help save the animals.Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem.And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.
   Quite a few countries have passed laws.These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list.Slowly，the number of some animals in danger is growing.
