"As I Read Charles Shiro Inouye's Evanescence and Form , a study of Japanese culture from its ancient beginnings to the present, I thought again and again how fortunate his students are to be guided by such an extraordinary teacher. He writes as he might address a class or perhaps a group of friends, using skill and wit to transmit in easy to understand language his exceptional knowledge of the culture of Japan and his perceptions of what makes it distinctive. This discussion of the role of evanescence is the religious life and arts of Japan is in every way outstanding."--Donald Keene, Shincho Professor Emeritus of Japanese Literature, Columbia University "Charles Inouye's brilliant study of evanescence guides us through Japan's long and complex cultural and social history. His sensitive, often provocative, readings are rendered in a lucid, accessible style. A great book for anyone beginning an exploration of Japan."--Keiko McDonald, Professor of Japanese Literature and Cinema, University of Pittsburgh "Charles Inouye's intensely personal, indeed eloquent, survey of Japanese culture--from animism to anime--illuminates its paradoxical deepest themes. More than an introduction, it reveals what has so often been obscured by stereotypes."--Howard Hibbett, Victor S. Thomas Professor of Japanese Literature Emeritus, Harvard University "This book is essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary Japan. Charles Inouye has constructed a daring, wide-ranging, and beautifully written introduction to the deep patterns of Japanese cultural and aesthetic practice. The rock garden at Ryoanji Temple and the anime of Hayao Miyazaki will never look the same again."-- Eve Zimmerman, Associate Professor of Japanese at Wellesley College "Following Inouye (Tufts) as he effortlessly glides across the vast landscape of Japanese history and culture--touching down on a particular topic only long enough to make his point, and not a moment longer--is thrilling....For readers with even a cursory understanding of the social, cultural, and political background of its subject, this book is a true page-turner. Summing Up: Essential. Upper-division undergraduates and above."-- Choice, "As I Read Charles Shiro Inouye's Evanescence and Form , a study of Japanese culture from its ancient beginnings to the present, I thought again and again how fortunate his students are to be guided by such an extraordinary teacher.

Intensely personal, with a number of references to the author's personal milieu and especially to the author's family in both Japan and the United States, the book is also consciously lyrical, with numerous examples of fine writing embroidering the text."

Synopsis
This book explores the Japanese notion of hakanasa - the evanescence of all things. Responses to this idea have been various and even contradictory: asceticism, fatalism, conformism, hedonism, materialism, and careerism. This book examines the ties between an epistemology of constant change and Japan's formal emphasis on etiquette and visuality.

- p***p (47)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoGreat seller! Item is what I ordered; good communication; shipped promptly; good value. NOTE TO SELLER: packaging was NOT appropriate for item; it was a flimsy, plastic envelope, with no stiff material to prevent creases. The book came with two deep creases that involved the *entire* item: one is a 1" triangle lower left side (bound edge); the other is a 7" triangle on upper right side (open edge).Beautiful Music for Two String Instruments, Bk 3: 2 Violins by Samuel Applebaum (#403989405345)
