The peculiarity of shadows through which the beauty of an object excels seems to be diminishing with the onset of modern times.
But, still this aspect goes through scrutiny of a civilized lens flogio judgments. Junichiro Tanizaki selects for praise all things delicate and nuanced, everything softened by shadows and the patina of age, anything understated and natural—as for example the patterns of ujnichiro in old wood, the sound of rain dripping from eaves and leaves, or washing over the footing of a stone lantern in a garden, and refreshing the moss that grows about it — and by doing tanizami he suggests an attitude of appreciation and mindfulness, especially mindfulness of beauty, as central to life lived well.

Tanizaki applies this theoretical perception while arguing the essence of shadow through exemplary significance of electric heaters, architecture, theater, food, ceramics and lacquerware, literature, radio, music systems, the intricacies of Japanese way of life in accordance to its populace and even to the extent of comparing a fountain pen to the elegance of a Japanese calligraphy brush swaying gracefully on a boisterous, coarse paper.
It was translated into English by the academic students of Japanese literature, Thomas Harper and Edward Seidensticker. From the designs of temples and how the architec A beautiful little essay that I certainly enjoyed more than I thought I would.
A new translation by Gregory Starr was published in December It explains why my personal copy of this is saturated with notes and highlights, but not why the translators and forwards and afterwords make cheeky side eye winks at Tanizaki’s appreciation of defecation but avoid altogether the antiblack race formulations involved in his personal theories of color. No cualquier escritor puede activar sus sentidos para con ellos escribir y atrapar a los lectores en un tema tan minucioso como la arquitectura japonesa y la piel humana.
He’s not exactly a crusty reactionary here, but someone who wants to return something tnizaki, obscure and concealed. Lo mismo que una piedra fosforescente en la oscuridad pierde toda su fascinante sensacion de joya preciosa si sombga expuesta a plena luz, la belleza pierde toda su existencia si se suprimen los efectos d la sombra.
To take a trivial example near at hand A luster here would destroy the soft fragile beauty of the feeble light.

Every detail to avoid the disruption of harmony in a Japanese room. It addresses the felt quality of experience in any lived moment, not just tahizaki an end in itself but because each such moment belongs to a lifelong series in which beauty and richness of experience are important components of the good life.

The West, in its striving for progress, is presented as continuously searching for light and clarity, while the subtle and dl forms of oriental art and literature are seen by Tanizaki to represent an appreciation of shadow and subtlety, closely relating to the traditional Japanese concept of sabi.
But it is not only darkness eloglo shadow that the Japanese find beautiful. The silhouette of the Noh mask resting on the curious neck of the stage actor performing the play brings an outwardly mystery to the person behind the mask. It’s all go go go. Nothing loud but the silence. Shiny, gleaming surfaces are important and appear clean and fresh.

I also enjoyed the resonances with Peter Zumthor’s Atmospheres which I read on the same day. Pretty much Tanizaki outlays the differences in culture between the East and West on darkness, with a focus on shadows.
