Mono-ha can be translated as ‘School of Things.' Although somewhat related to movements such as Arte Povera, Minimal Art, and Land Art, Mono-ha artists were primarily concerned with creating an art that reflected an Asian and Japanese worldview. Mono-ha pieces often utilised raw natural materials with minimal intrusion by the artist. They focused on the interrelation between objects and the environment, and on creating a system that generates an encounter between two objects. Although short-lived, the movement’s formal and theoretical innovations continued to spark interest and debate among artists and critics beyond its end. ]]></termNote><termCreatedDate>2026-03-30 20:38:55</termCreatedDate><relation><relationType>UF</relationType><termId>31366771</termId><termName>School of Things</termName><termType>ND</termType></relation><relation><relationType>BT</relationType><termId>31335636</termId><termName>Japanese styles</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation></term>  </Zthes>
