This collection presents twenty-seven new essays in Japanese
aesthetics by leading experts in the field. Beginning with an
extended foreword by the renowned scholar and artist Stephen Addiss
and a comprehensive introduction that surveys the history of
Japanese aesthetics and the ways in which it is similar to and
different from Western aesthetics, this groundbreaking work brings
together a large variety of disciplinary perspectives-including
philosophy, literature, and cultural politics-to shed light on the
artistic and aesthetic traditions of Japan and the central themes
in Japanese art and aesthetics. Contributors explore topics from
the philosophical groundings for Japanese aesthetics and the
Japanese aesthetics of imperfection and insufficiency to the
Japanese love of and respect for nature and the paradoxical ability
of Japanese art and culture to absorb enormous amounts of foreign
influence and yet maintain its own unique identity. New Essays in
Japanese Aesthetics will appeal not only to a wide range of
humanities scholars but also to graduate and undergraduate students
of Japanese aesthetics, art, philosophy, literature, culture, and
civilization. Masterfully articulating the contributors'
Japanese-aesthetical concerns and their application to Japanese
arts (including literature, theater, film, drawing, painting,
calligraphy, ceramics, crafts, music, fashion, comics, cooking,
packaging, gardening, landscape architecture, flower arrangement,
the martial arts, and the tea ceremony), these engaging and
penetrating essays will also appeal to nonacademic professionals
and general audiences. This seminal work will be essential reading
for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of Japanese
aesthetics.
