Herrigel ; with a foreword by Daisetz T. Suzuki ; translated from the German by R.F.C. Hull. - reprinted 2006. London ; New York : Arkana, 1987. - xiv, 124 p. : ill. ; 20 cm. - Translation of: Der Blumenweg. ISBN 1850630763 In this companion volume to Eugen Herrigel's classic Zen in the Art of Archery, Gustie Herrigel describes the underlying Zen symbolism in the Japanese art of flower arranging, ikebana. During the 1920's while living in Japan, Gustie Herrigel studied ikebana under one of Japan's greatest Masters and by the time she left Japan in 1930 she herself had become a Master. The act of training in ikebana is a process of achieving spiritual enlightenment; the craft of arranging flowers is a form of meditation. Gustie Herrigel's account of her education in ikebana and her gradual understanding of its underlying symbolism is a story of great charm. She teaches the reader the disciplined but artfully natural style of flower arrangement, while providing a perceptive introduction to Zen. In this beautifully written book we are introduced to the traditions of an older Japanese way of life, which has since been swept away by Western influence.

And so birthdays are a time for taking stock, for making resolutions for change. In this collection Murakami has assembled birthday scenes of family ties wished for, made and broken; of chance meetings and much lamented losses and scenes featuring a spectrum of emotions from joy to despair- of imperfect pasts and uncertain futures. As Murakami's own style is applauded for brilliantly conveying 'the absolute oddness of ordinary life' (RUPERT THOMPSON, Esquire) this collection portrays this same minutiae as Murakami would observe it- the mundane events that had an unexpected twist. Previously published in Japan in Murakami's translation the collection appears here with the addition of an introduction written by Murakami especially for this English language edition.

Str. 2 821.521 BURUM the BURUMA, Ian 821.521 The missionary and the libertine [love and war in East and West] / Ian Buruma. - 1st U.S. ed. - New York, Random House, c 2000. - xxv, 319 p. ; 25 cm. - Originally published: London ; Boson : Faber, 1996.. - ISBN 037550222X This collection of essays, drawn mainly from The New York Review of Books, will appeal to readers interested in the Far East, especially Japan. Ian Buruma writes of Europe's very particular fascination with Asia, and makes clear that this is what attracted him, too: Neither puritanism nor sensuality was ever unique to East or West, yet, on the whole, it is for the latter that Westerners have looked East. There has been a sensual, even erotic, element in encounters--imaginary or real--between East and West since the ancient Greeks. The European idea of the Orient as female, voluptuous, decadent, amoral--in short, as dangerously seductive--long predates the European empires in India and Southeast Asia. Yet an unexpected reversal has upset this mode of thought. "From the official point of view of China, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, and Japan," writes Buruma, "Europe and the United States are now models not of masculine vim but, on the contrary, of decadence, libertinism, and sloth." The best essay in The Missionary and the Libertine builds off this observation by examining Lee Kuan Yew's repressive Singapore and the "Asian values" debate. Startling anecdotes spring from the page (in this selection as well as the others), such as the employment ad Buruma shares from a Singapore daily: "Filipino. Hardworking. No day off." Buruma is more than just an observer; he's also an analyst. The very concept of "Asian values" rings untrue, he believes, because the phrase "only really makes sense in English. In Chinese, Malay, or Hindi, it would sound odd. Chinese think of themselves as Chinese, and Indians as Indians (or Tamils, or Punjabs). Asia, as a cultural concept, is an official invention to bridge vastly different ethnic populations living in former British colonies." Buruma also writes about Pakistan's Benazir Bhutto, the Philippines' Cory Aquino, V.S. Naipaul, the Seoul Olympics, the debate over the bomb in Japan, and so on. The book is a grab bag of literature and culture, and fans of Buruma will be delighted to have it all packed together in a single volume. 821.521 DAVIE jap JAPANESE the 821.521 The Japanese mind [understanding contemporary Japanese culture] / edited by Roger J.

E. De Becker. - Dover ed. - Mineola, N.Y. : Dover Publications, 2007. - xiv, 386 p. : ill. ; 22 cm Originally published: The nightless city, or, The history of the Yoshiwara Yukwaku. Rev. 5th ed. Yokohama : Max Nossler ; London : Probsthain, 1910. ISBN 0486455637 Published in 1899 The Nightless City is a priceless historical document of a study of the Yoshiwara Yukwaku, Tokoyo's infamous red-light district. 386 pages about traditions, folklore, costumes, erotic practices, price lists, menus, legal documents, laws, hair styles and much, much, more. Looked at as a necessary evil, the district lasted till 1957, when its end was mourned across the world. I am not joking. I mourn its loss as I type. A dumping ground for surplus daughters, a place of slavery and refinement, of sin and beauty, where pleasure was but a business and an art. Any anybody interested in Japanese history, or just the history of sin, should pick up this book. 821.521 HINO, isl HINO, Keizo 821.521 Isle of dreams / by Keizo Hino ; translated by Charles De Wolf. - 1st ed. - Champaign : Dalkey Archive Press, 2010. - 156 p. ; 21 cm. - (Dalkey Archive Press's Japanese Literature series) ISBN 9781564786036 Though it has a lovely name, the real "Island of Dreams" is actually a hunk of reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay where the city dumps its garbage . and yet, Shozo Saka, a middle-aged widower, does indeed find the place beautiful: gravitating more and more, since the death of his wife, toward the Island's massive piles of trash. One day, however, his refuge is invaded by Yoko, a mysterious woman in black, who visits the Island on her motorcycle for no other reason than to treat it as her own private obstacle course. Soon Yoko has lured Saka away from his garbage-paradise, leading him back into a Tokyo far less benign than the things it's thrown away. Acclaimed on its first publication, Island of Dreams is a sinister satire on urban decay. CreatedPOINT Software with Varaždin XFRX, www.eqeus.com, commercial use prohibited.

ISBN 978-4-533-06784-6 This is a great phrasebook for English speaking people travelling to Japan, it is well laid out to show how to put your questions & meaning accross. Similar to the 'Point and Speak' series this is along the same line, with cartoon colour illustrations by famous illustrators Kiriko Kubo and Nachie Enomoto. The book contains various topics, with each word in English, Katakana, Hiragana, Kanji and the phonetic pronunciation. Contents include Getting Started, Getting Out, Getting A Bite, Getting Things, Getting Some Fun, Getting Understood and Getting Proficient. Each chapter begins with a cartoon scenario to do with the topic and continues into mini chapters. This book is also very useful as it has pages on specific situations you may find yourself in, such as visiting a hot spring, sumo match, restaurant or inn with the language you may need or encounter. The cover sleeve removes and has a Hiragana chart on the reverse. There is also a very useful vocabulary list and basic grammar section in the back of the book so you can understand a little about how sentences are formed and try some out for yourself. As well as the picture element this book also contains useful insights into how Japan works, with tips and info on social elements, traditions and things you may see or hear. A well rounded, popular book which is more of a fact and phrasebook than the simpler Point & Speak layout.
