Sure to be a classic, Donald Richie's concise, profound insights into
the mysteries of Japanese Aesthetics. 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.
