| Summary: | Japanese culture is deeply rooted in nature―from literature to the visual arts, and from religious practice to daily life. How, when, and why this close association with nature developed is explored in this book by bestselling author Matsuoka Seigow. Using ten key motifs―mountains, paths, deities, wind, birds, flowers, buddhas, time, dreams, and moon―each of which serves as a lens on different aspects of Japanese culture, Matsuoka ranges from history and ethnology to the arts. |
