If we thought that reality were changeable, fragile, and fleeting,
would we take life more seriously or less seriously? This book
contemplates the notion of "hakanasa," the evanescence of all
things, as understood by the Japanese. Their lived responses to
this idea of impermanence have been various and even contradictory.
Asceticism, fatalism, conformism. Hedonism, materialism, careerism.
What this array of responses have in common are, first, a grounding
in "hakanasa," and, second, an emphasis on formality. "Evanescence
and Etiquette" attempts to illuminate for the first time the ties
between an epistemology of constant change and Japan's formal
emphasis on etiquette and visuality.
