Hardcover with dust jacket. Condition: Sehr gut. 209 p.: Maps. Lediglich der Schutzumschlag ist etwas berieben und bestoßen. Sonst aber ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar/ Only the dust jacket is a bit rubbed and bumped. But otherwise a good and clean copy. - What were Japans climate and geography like ten thousand years ago, and how did they influence the inhabitants of these islands? How was the Japanese language formed, and what features make it unique? What is the true nature of the deep-rooted Shinto and Buddhist beliefs underlying so much of Japanese life, and how do they function? What is the real meaning of the Japanese reverence for nature? Of so-called ancestor worship? Of Zen? What are the major ideas of those thinkers who, like Nishida Kitaro, have knit these elements into original philosophical systems? What is the nature of Japanese society and interpersonal relations? What are the salient features of Japans history, her literature, her arts? And finally, how do the Japanese perceive the West and the world as a whole? This unique and invaluable book answers such questions by presenting succinct yet thorough summaries of and commentaries on forty-five key works by leading modern Japanese thinkers and scholars. Guides to Japanese Culture is at once an introduction to Japanese culture and a compendium of representative modern Japanese scholarship that has been largely inaccessible until now except to the relatively few who read Japanese. And for those who do read Japanese, the book is a bibliographical guide to further exploration of Japanese culture, whatever ones major interest may be. Guides to Japanese Culture is designed to serve two major functions. One is, of course, to provide an authoritative overview of Japanese culture in all its major aspects, as perceived by the Japanese themselves. But the other, and no less important, function is to demonstrate how a knowledge and appreciation of a foreign culture can point the way to a reappraisal of ones own culture from a fresh perspective and can further deepen ones understanding of the many cultural constellations that comprise the world of mankind. The forty-five representative works abstracted in this book have been carefully selected from among hundreds of candidates by the editorial staff of the Japan Culture Institute under the supervision of the noted writer and critic Murakami Hyôe, while the English translations have been edited by Professor Edward G. Seidensticker of the University of Michigan, an eminent translator in his own right.
