"Destroy a nation, but its mountains and rivers remain."--"Japanese
proverb"
This is a collection of 200 Japanese proverbs with illustrations
and explanations for each saying.
Go beyond speaking Japanese-peek into the soul of Japan. "Japanese
Proverbs: Wit and Wisdom" is a delightfully illustrated compilation
of traditional Japanese proverbs and sayings. Some of the classic
Japanese quotes and quotations, like "Fall down seven times, get up
eight," capture the dogged perseverance of the Japanese heart.
Others, such as "A red lacquer dish needs no decoration" illuminate
both a universal truth and Japan's unique, aesthetic traditions.
"Japanese Proverbs: Wit and Wisdom" has proverbs of great cultural
significance as well as proverbs on matters of daily life and
customs.
Pleasing to expert and new-comer alike, the 200 traditional
proverbs in this unique collection are presented in Japanese script
("kana and kanji") and romanized ("romaji") form, along with direct
English translations. Similar proverbs are given from English, and
the "sumi-e" style ink drawings are a delight in their own right.
You'll speak Japanese with the verve and nuance of a native when
you use these apt and witty expressions.
