Book Synopsis The Heart of Japan (Routledge Revivals) by : Clarence Ludlow Brownell
Download or read book The Heart of Japan (Routledge Revivals) written by Clarence Ludlow Brownell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-07 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of commentaries and reflections on Japanese culture, first published in 1904, was written shortly after the return of two English aristocrats from five years spent immersed in the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’. Their intention through these anecdotes – some humorous and charming, others tragic and thought-provoking – was to offer glimpses into the "real inner spirit of the native life," and to provide insights into the remarkable idiosyncrasies of Japanese society during a period of unprecedented change. Touching on such diverse topics as sport, religion, music, censorship, drama and bathing, The Heart of Japan will be of particular interest to students of Japanese, as well as to those intrigued by cultural difference and exchange.

Book Synopsis Gleams From Japan (Routledge Revivals) by : S. Katsumata
Download or read book Gleams From Japan (Routledge Revivals) written by S. Katsumata and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1937 this is a collection of articles written by the author under the pseudonym 'Waseda Eisaku' for the Japan Tourist Bureau's magazine over twenty five years. Intended to satisfy the intellectual curiosity of cultivated tourists from abroad by giving the insider's view of all things Japanese, it was published as a book just before the outbreak of World War II. Writing in the first person, Katsumata becomes both guide and confidante, writing about his own travel experiences in Japan and about Japanese customs and practices that interest him, such as traditional incense ceremonies, or fishing with rod and creel. This personal approach results in an unusual selection of topics and itineraries including tray landscapes, old Japanese clocks, hot springs, Japanese humour, sumo wrestling, pines in Japanese scenery, the Japanese sun flag and Buddhist temple bells. The author not only describes, but draws the reader into his own experiences - his joy on buying an antiquarian book he cannot really afford, the monotony he feels when travelling too long through snowy landscapes, the delight he takes in telling you that the best bait for carp fishing is sweet potato. Katsumata's unconventional choice of subjects and his informal and individualistic writing style make this a refreshingly different guide to Japan, and a valuable record of the period in which it was written.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN MISSIONARIES AND MISSIONARIES WHENEVER our roaming along the byways of Japan brought us to the door of a missionary home we went in and found a welcome. There was always room for two more at the missionary's table, and if we could stay for the night there were always futon enough for a couple of extra beds. This hospitality was due partly, perhaps, to the fact that both he and we were far from home, partly to the genial influence of Japan, where the very atmosphere breathes welcome, but chiefly because the missionary himself was a good fellow--a man living pleasantly and setting a wholesome example. The example is not exciting, but it is as an example he is most effective. The missionary is taken seriously, as a rule, except when the Mail, the Herald, or the Gazette, being short of copy, gives him opportunity to point out in print the weak spots in the creeds, the customs, the rites, or beliefs of his brother missionaries of other sects. The Japanese smile at him then, and the Buddhists say: "August divergence of august opinion apparently existing is among the teachers of religion from the West." Then they rub their polls and become abstracted in contemplation of the Absolute. The Imperial Govemment likes the missionary, and the Mikado decorated one some years ago. Later he and his family were granted all the rights of citizenship. The Minister of State, in transmitting the papers, declared that the Empire was to be congratulated on having so worthy a man within its borders. When this reverend gentleman was presented to the Court of the Heaven-Descended, he gave his Imperial Majesty a Bible, the only one that ever found its way within the palace gates. Like other folks who accomplish things, the missionary comes in...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Japan presents a synthesized, interdisciplinary study of contemporary Japan based on up-to-date theoretical models designed to provide readers with a comprehensive and full understanding of the dynamics of contemporary Japan. In order to achieve this, the Handbook is organized into two parts. Part I, ‘Foundations’, clarifies the state of contemporary Japan topic by topic by referring to the latest theoretical developments in the relevant disciplinary fields of politics, international relations, economy, society, culture and the personal. Part II, ‘Issues’, then offers a series of concrete analyses building upon the theoretical discussions introduced in Part I to help undergraduate and postgraduate students learn how to conduct independent analysis. Locating Japan in a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective, this Handbook is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in Japanese studies, Asian studies and global studies.
