Evanescence and Form: An Introduction to Japanese Culture (2008) (1ST ed.)
Contributor(s): Inouye, C (Author)
Binding: Paperback
Copyright Date: 2007
Pub Date: October 19, 2008
This book explores the Japanese notion of hakanasa - the evanescence of all things. Responses to this idea have been various and even contradictory: asceticism, fatalism, conformism, hedonism, materialism, and careerism. This book examines the ties between an epistemology of constant change and Japan's formal emphasis on etiquette and visuality.
