Philosophers and aesthetes in Japan have studied poietics, the origin of which can be derived from the old Greek word meaning to create. But those studies have proceeded from the philosophical viewpoint, not from the artist's viewpoint. Passeron's Poietiques, which is based on the artist's viewpoint, has incurred a few opinions from the philosophical viewpoint. The purpose of this study is to indicate a meaning of poietics from the artist's viewpoint. This paper is an introduction. Studying Passeron's history and Poietiques, and also the former opinions, I induced a new problem on poietics from the artist's viewpoint : that is to indicate the line between artistic creations at large and artistic creations by the artist.
