This provocative book is a tractate--a treatise--on beauty in
Japanese art, written in the manner of a "zuihitsu, " a
free-ranging assortment of ideas that "follow the brush" wherever
it leads. Donald Richie looks at how perceptual values in Japan
were drawn from raw nature and then modified by elegant expressions
of class and taste. He explains aesthetic concepts like "wabi,
sabi, aware, " and "yugen, " and ponders their relevance in art and
cinema today.
Donald Richie is the foremost explorer of Japanese culture in
English, and this work is the culmination of sixty years of
observing and writing from his home in Tokyo.
