* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. By reading this summary, you will learn the secret of Japanese aesthetics. You will also learn : why darkness is inseparable from beauty in Japan; how Western culture has diminished this Japanese aesthetic; how to correctly decipher Japanese architecture, cuisine and objects; to possibly modify your perception of beauty. If you hear the word "Japan", you might think of Tokyo and its lights, skyscrapers and advanced technology. You might also think of manga and video games. However, to reduce Japan to this modernity would be a gross mistake. While the country has undergone a spectacular "Western" transformation since the late 19th century, it is still unique and largely opaque to a foreigner. Indeed, an ancestral past has left a deep mark in the minds of the Japanese. Their keys to understanding are hard to find. One of them allows us to understand the so particular sensitivity of their aesthetics. Will you be able to appreciate shadow and darkness in a different light? *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!
