"MUGA( = anatman)" means not only non-ego but also extinguishing oneself in Japanese. Some Japanese artists say they feel a state where themselves disappear but only expressing subjects are left. It happens to lead to unify everything without seeing and considering each of things and deceive them to feel identifying themselves with the world. Takeshi Hayashi (1896-1975) is a Japanese artist who made up an unique art theory and followed it firmly in his art activity. In his art activity, three points should be examined. The first, he always tried to persue "MUGA". He didn't notice that he lost a chance to get a new world he had not known and to change himself while he felt himself was disappeared. The second, he believed real figure of existance was darkness every thing contains inside. This view point was influenced by philosophy of his father who was a scholar of Japanese and believed Japanese words had spirit. The third, he was inquiring rules in paintings through entire his life. It led him to see everything uniform without notice of their difference. Takeshi became a professor at Tokyo National University of Fine Arts & Music and a leader of "anti-informel ( = against abstract expression) in 1950's and 1960's. He was against abstruction painting that was popular at that time, while his collegues said his attitude was changed from that time. But his change was not resulted from his change his mind influenced by his becoming an art educational leader, but rather from his consistency of his art theory.
