In Praise of Shadows
Author | |
Abstract |
Tanizaki captures in an amusing, flowing commentary on architecture, drama, food, feminine beauty, and many other aspects of Japanese life the uneasy mixing of two clashing aesthetic traditions based on differing technologies. He makes clear his own love of the softer, quieter, more shadowy, older aesthetic tradition and his pain as it is challenged by the brighter, more garish products of Western technology. |
