Ornamentation
This word expresses the result that visually and tactually evokes aesthetically pleasurable sensations through artificially modifying the superficial parts of everything from manmade objects to natural creations. This even includes parts of the human body&sbquo human skin&sbquo or any definite large space. Depending on the object being modified the result is given a different name. In publication&sbquo for example&sbquo it is bookbinding. In architecture it may be illumination. When applied to the human skin it may be tattoo&sbquo beauty marks or horimono (Japanese tattoo) depending on the customs and culture of the ethic group. Accessories attached to hair or clothes by themselves may also be called ornamentation. As to large spaces&sbquo we have interior decoration&sbquo stage decoration&sbquo store design&sbquo garden design&sbquo street decoration and so forth. This ornamentation must satisfy two requisites. First&sbquo it has to possess a stable form in relation to the subject that is being ornamented. A picture must sit well on the medium's surface and must harmonize efficiently or essentially with the subject. That is&sbquo the result of such expression should not impair the functionality of the subject body. At times&sbquo the purpose of the ornamentation itself can have meaning or function. Store designs&sbquo for example&sbquo have the purpose of luring customers and advertising products&sbquo Because meaning is sometimes imparted to ornamentation&sbquo the word soshoku ("ornamentation" in Japanese) is sometimes used to translate the word "design." It is however necessary to clearly distinguish "design" from soshoku (ornamentation) since the subject to be ornamented is always the object of design rather than functionality being sought through ornamentation.
