Narration Conducive To Books In Praise of Shadows

The preference for a pensive luster to a shallow brilliance. My quiet, soothingly minimalist room seems of no consequence when juxtaposed with the unearthly beauty that Jun'ichirō Tanizaki described in this splendid essay on aesthetics. A shōji. Lightning. Electric fans. The right heating system. Architecture. Food. Every detail to avoid the disruption of harmony in a Japanese room. An almost imperceptible line between an extremely refine taste and the subtlety of irony.

We delight in the mere sight of the delicate glow of fading rays clinging to the surface of a dusky wall, there to live out what little life remains to them. We never tire of the sight, for to us this pale glow and these dim shadows far surpass any ornament. (9)

Inside this book, there is a room that seems enraptured by the sobriety of the different shades of black. So much space beholding the magnificence of a dim light on a particular spot, barely illuminating the serene twilight the walls seem to be made of. Could this book be applied to people? It shouldn't. But that is subject to one's personality. You could be the reserved, darkened room. Except when writing. And that would be fine. Nevertheless, a book on beauty has its share of ugliness; people's skin and supposed degrees of purity. Above all, this is an essay that exalts the enigmatic candlelight. The particular beauty of a candle emanating a delicate glow that embellish a silent room. A most idyllic view under its mystical light. Nothing superfluous. Nothing pretentious. Nothing loud but the silence. A universe in one's thoughts. The encounter with oneself under the tenuous radiance of a candle, evoking a somber night and the bright moon someone is gazing at. Tanizaki observes. Tanizaki fights. Tanizaki pouts! Tanizaki misses. Tanizaki regrets. The sound of the rain playing gently with the dusky light of a candle.

Criticism Regarding Books In Praise of Shadows

Σε έναν κόσμο που έχει ανάγει τη Δύση και τις συνήθειές της σε πρότυπο και αναζητεί την πολυτέλεια και την ομορφιά στα φανταχτερά αντικείμενα και στις γυαλάδες τους, που προσπαθεί να εξαλείψει κάθε σκιά και να αποφύγει με κάθε τρόπο το σκοτάδι, ο Τανιζάκι φανερώνει τη μαγεία των σκιών. Ο Ιάπωνας συγγραφέας πραγματεύεται τις αμέτρητες ποιότητες που μπορεί να προκαλέσει το παιχνίδι του ελάχιστου φωτός μέσα σε έναν σκοτεινό χώρο και τις αισθήσεις που μπορεί να αφυπνίσει, ενώ ταυτόχρονα νοσταλγεί

roman sandığım kitap denemeymiş :) sürpriz oldu ama iyi oldu. tanizakinin romanlarında izini sürdüğümüz pek çok konudaki fikirlerini okuyoruz. doğu ülkelerinin ışıkla ilişkisinin batıdan ne kadar farklı olduğunu hayretle okudum. evdeki gümüş ya da çelikleri cilalayan hizmetçilerin azarlanması bahsi var. batıdakinin tam zıttı. her şeyin loş, karanlık ve kararmış olmasını seviyorlar.kadınların dudaklarını yeşile dişlerini siyaha boyayıp kaşlarını tıraşlamaları ise... yani 🙄elektrik ve fuzuli

کتابی عالی برای علاقهمندان به فرهنگ سنتی. نویسنده با نگاهی تیزبینانه نشان میدهد که چطور دریافت سنتی ژاپنیها از زیبایی تحت تأثیر الگوهای غربی تغییر میکند. در حین خواندن کتاب مدام الگوهای فکری ژاپنی و غربی را با الگوهای خودمان هم مقایسه میکنید و به نکاتی دربارهی روانشناسی جمعی خودمان پی میبرید که شاید پیش از آن هرگز به آنها توجه نکرده بودید. ترجمه و طراحی کتاب هم حرف نداردتکههایی از متنسالها پیش یک بار در مقالهای که برای مجلهی بونگی شونجو نوشتم خودنویس را با قلممو مقایسه کردم. آنجا گفتم که اگر

A backward, reactionary, nationalistic prose piece disguised as an essay on aesthetics, which engages in strange speculation and musing that is not at all well supported. But it gets better towards the end when its cantankerousness and hyperbole get amusing, and it does ultimately manage to express a mournful nostalgia for a dying aesthetic, even if that aesthetic is more of a personal aesthetic than the author admits, rather than being an expression of national character.P.S.The aesthetic can



"Sonra kapak çabucak açılır ve bu siyah kabın içine yığılmış, her tanesi inci gibi parlayan, saf beyaz yeni haşlanmış yemek dışarı sıcak buharlar yayar -işte bu her Japon'u etkileyen bir görüntüdür. Yemek pişirme sanatımız gölgeye bağlıdır ve karanlıktan ayrılamaz."⭐Japon kültürü hakkında ilginç şeyler öğrendim...

The quality that we call beauty ... must always grow from the realities of life. In Praise of Shadows, written by the well known Japanese novelist Tanizaki Jun'ichirō (1886-1965) in 1933, is a particularly charming and discursive rumination on the differences between Japanese (indeed, East Asian) and occidental aesthetics (among other matters). It is also an illustration of the differences between the Japanese tradition of zuihitsu ("to follow the brush"), of which In Praise of Shadows is a
