In the work the principle of hierarchy in the Indian aesthetics and its connection with the system of arts is investigated. A special attention in the work is given to the disclosure of an originality of the Indian aesthetic treatises and principles of aesthetics of architecture. On the basis of concrete texts the author proves that the art creativity of India is closely associated with craft. Religious ideals and art of India emphasize a value of symbolical perception of the world and orientation to canons and ideal proportions.

A special attention is given to the influence of daoism and chan on the Chinese aesthetics of landscape painting, which is considered one of the most significant phenomena of the Chinese and world culture. The research concludes that a unique chan aesthetic tradition is closely connected with a new stage of development of the Chinese landscape painting.In the fourth part the originality of the Japanese aesthetic tradition is investigated; its relations with the Chinese aesthetics and national cultural traditions, especially with shintó and zen.
